I Was 3 When I Told My

I Was Home-schooled, Was Always Very Close With My Mom And Was Very Straight-laced And Square. I Was Never The Rebellious One, And I Never Threw Hissy Fits.

The Way That I'm Feeling The Shift In Movie Industry Is That Women Are Allowed To Be Part Of The Development Process. So I Do Feel Like Things Are Changing Because I'm Allowed To Option Books Or Write An Original Screenplay Or Direct. Those Possibilities Are Really Wide Open. I Think That Males Still Struggle To Write For Females, Which Is Totally Fine Because I Don't Think I Could Write A Really Impactful Male Role Because That's Not The Life That I Lived. So We'll Just Keep Shouting And Say We Need More Opportunities For Not Just Women But People That Are Just Different.

It's Really Hard To See Yourself And To Recognize That You Are A Human Being Like Everybody Else. You Just Think Everybody's Judging You.

The Main Thing For Me Is Just The Length Of Time It Takes To Make A Movie. It's At Least A Year Of Just Talking About It, Talking About It With Yourself Or Your Director Or Your Other Castmates Or The Press, So You Just Want To Make Sure It's A Film That Although You Initially Feel This Pull Or This Drive To It, You Don't Really Have The Answers To Why You're Drawn To It. But It's More About Not Knowing The Answers To Certain Questions But Wanting To Go On The Journey Of Discovery To Find The Answers.

I Have Always Been Really Picky About The Films That I Make, Because I Think That There's Such An Incredible Opportunity To Bring Up Questions When You're Making Movies, And Some Of My Favorite Films Bring Up Big Questions. They Are Movies That, When You Walk Away From It, It Hits You As Something Deeper, And It's A Great, Fun Way To Be Able To Bounce Around Some Of These Harder Concepts In Our Heads.
