I can't get hired in a studio movie. Everything is so uphill.

At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.

I don't get jobs in films by auditioning. I'm not blonde. You can't place me in movies the way you can with certain actors. It's very difficult for my agents.

You have to want to be in the company of those you're making films about.

I only want to work with interesting filmmakers.

I only made two studio movies, that was a long time ago and obviously I removed myself. I think some of that is geographical. I live in New York and I want to work there, it's as simple as that.

One thing I know is that I don't want to be a director for hire, making genre films.

I don't know what I'm qualified to do, film-wise... So it's really down to a director or a casting director to find something that they think I could do.

All of my books have the potential to become movies, it's just a question of finding a studio who wants to get behind me and put up the money to make the movie.

I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.
