Directing her was like directing Lassie. You need 14 takes to get each one of them right.

I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.

It felt amazing to be one of a handful working female directors in Hollywood.

So I've had really great assistant directors for my last seven movies.

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

And later I thought, I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.

But I didn't know much about directing a movie.
