people turned
I've turned into one of those people who go jogging in parks that I used to hate.
anonymity
Anonymity would be a fantastic umbrella. I don't like intrusion.
channels gotten longer steel
When you're no longer ill, and everyone's gotten over the fact that you've had cancer, that core of steel doesn't go away, and then I had to find other channels for it.

I don't understand why there aren't more powerful female directors. I don't have the answers, but I hope that things may start to shift and that studios will employ more women to handle strong and interesting material.

I'd like to make something about someone who hasn't existed so that I don't have to tread so carefully and can feel a little bit more creative freedom.

britain scarlet
Britain can sometimes feel like a very small village, and you're this, I dunno, scarlet woman they're all gossiping about.
astute clearest detail far work
Even today I work with Niall O'Brien, who is far more technically astute than I am, but I still have the clearest idea of every detail I want in my photograph.
coppola goes scorsese work
When Scorsese or Coppola cast celebrities in their work, it goes without question.
