I love making movies, but I was ready to rationalize being only a mother if my career never got back on track.

The beauty about being a producer is you sit there, and you explore ideas which become a passion, which slowly becomes a reality.

I look at old interviews and things and they say, 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' I say, 'I want to be a producer.' And I'm really fortunate that I was able to do it.

I didn't ever plan to be a producer, and I didn't really know what I was getting myself into.

I vicariously lived the life of an independent producer from the time I was 4 years old.

I have always felt that my career was not going to be a straight shot up, but more of a kind of rolling wave, so that I could raise my children. So I got pregnant when I was the head of production at a studio, and I became chairperson at a bigger studio when I was pregnant with my second daughter. You just do it!

My parents were so far from the music world that they couldn't conceive how you could make a living. But for me, it was the only solution for the rest of my life.

All I wanted to do was come into my own and find out my career path and what I wanted to do with my life - but, at the same time, showing respect to my father and mother and make them proud as well.

It's difficult to be a mother and maintain a career as a performer - but then it's difficult in any industry.

At the end of the day, I am not my dad and have my own journey to make.
