I'm definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers. I know that there's some actors who like to be left alone, they like to be very independent, but I actually really enjoy the teamwork.

The great thing about having spent all this time on film sets is that I've been able to watch directors and how they work. I now know that this is what I want to do as well: to tell stories visually. But it's definitely my vision that I want to put across, nobody else's.

I've done a little directing, but I love acting more.

I love being on sets with very seasoned directors as well as very new directors. Every time is a discovery process. You learn something new every time.

I like acting for myself as a director. I act and I know that I'll have a chance to have some say in what gets used and that I'll be able to give myself enough takes and be on the same page as myself about how the scene should play.

I love working with actors. That's what the set really is, for me. It's my time with the actors.

I love being on set, because I've basically grown up on a set. And now I love to contribute as a director and help steer the ship, if you will.

On a very small scale, I kind of understand why the directors that I work with do certain things. I don't consider myself an incredible director. I'm not ready to do movies by any means. But, I feel like I can be a better actress now that I've been on the other side and kind of understand the process and more of the technical aspects of it.

I learn a lot as a director from acting in other people's films and just in general.
