There were movies that always made me want to be a director. You see brilliant scenes and the way the emotions were handled. I thought, I'd really like to do that.

I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off, and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner.

I've always wanted to be a Meryl Streep or a Natalie Portman. I want to do all kinds of different movies, to be a chameleon. I don't want to limit myself.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.

I never really planned a career. I've tried to avoid it. I've tried to do this stuff I felt for, the stuff I like. So, I've just been meeting these fantastic directors who've offered me a variation of different parts and different films.

I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.

I had become a film director because I thought I could express something in an artful way.

I never wanted to be a director. I came into this industry by the little door, so I never learned anything; I never went to school. Actors will tell you I'm very precise. I just have the intuition of doing things.

I've always wanted to write movies - I always used to tell my mom that I wanted to be a director.
