Quote

I kind of romanticized what it was like to be a writer and director when I was in my early twenties. Working as a production assistant knocked that right out of me.

When my mother died, it sort of put a damper on things. My career didn't have the same significance or excitement. It had always been about doing well for my family - my brothers, sisters, father, mother. Then something interesting and important happened - I started doing things for me.

During my first marriage, my career was the most important thing in my life.

For me working on the marriage and not making the easy choice of cheating was something that I could not do.

When my mother had four girls, and she could tell her marriage was falling apart, she went back to college and got her degree in music and education.

Through my whole career, that's been a major thing - bringing my family with me.

The things that have taken place over my career have been unbelievable. I have a lot of great moments to cherish.

We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.

Somehow I got the feeling at an early age that I had to do something important with my life.

Having a day job again I found really kind of fueled my fiction, because it became almost this forbidden thing where I had to sneak off and do it in private.
