I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That's what I hope to do when I make a film - to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.

I love films, I love the way they make me feel.

I made a commitment to myself; that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference. It has to move people.

It's great to be in a film that's able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something.

I like movies a lot, and I feel really excited when I see a movie that moves me the right way.

A film should be an experience. You should feel something. It should motivate you to feel something.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.

The big thing for me is to make films that you feel, whether you feel happy, whether you feel sad, whether you feel sick; it's to make the audience feel so that the next day they remember what they saw.

The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart.
