When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.

I'm not an art director; I'm just not. I've always been somebody who has a sensibility that I hope is the same sensibility of others.

As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress.

There's plenty of great independent films to do, but you can't support yourself making independent film as an actress.

When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.

When you shoot an independent movie you have a very limited amount of time, and you don't want to be that actor, when a poor director is trying to get through a movie, that you're asking at every second to discuss performance.

There is often a great disparity between a director's personal style and the movies he makes.

Honestly, I guess if you looked at my CV, I've been doing independent movies since I started. I think that I kind of took a few steps back from Hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because I wasn't quite ready for the attention.

You either are a good director or you're not.

I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
