Well, the wonderful thing about making movies, oddly enough, is that they're sort of highly motivated graduate studies in one or another field.

Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

Making movies was a real weird kind of adult experience. In a way it was like MIT, in that it was a great education. The big lesson is, people are people. They're smart, funny, creative people, but they're people.

The thing is, making movies as an actress, you learn so many things. Like when you're making a movie with Quentin Tarantino you're just at the best cinema school ever.

I'm not educated as a filmmaker, so it's quite a jump for me.

I think everything that you do, you're learning. I mean, every movie that you make is like a film school; that's one of the things that I enjoy about filmmaking.

I'm a believer in film school.

Film schools didn't exist when I was growing up. I learned by working with clever people. Good writers and cinematographers.

I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.

I actually studied literature and philosophy. So, when I started making films, I didn't really know what I was doing, and I was too proud and arrogant to learn.
