nice pressure saw seeing transition work
We saw a lot more full-court pressure than we were used to seeing in the Big East, a lot of different presses, a lot of different trapping defenses, just up-and-down transition part of the game. It's nice that we got to work on some of those things.
older people
We're older and a lot of people thought we were crazy. A lot of people still think we're crazy. They don't live in our shoes.
everybody heard saying
We're on an e-mail list, and everybody was writing, saying 'We heard about New Orleans. Where are you? How are you?'
freak moments control-freak
I'm a control freak and I like to be overprepared, and I'm overly organized and I'm not in the moment a lot of the time.
ducks mad doubt
We're still at a point where women [directors] aren't allowed to be mad visionaries. We have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we're responsible, that we can handle it, that we've got all our ducks in a row . . . most women who direct always come in on budget, always come in on schedule, and if they were wild and irresponsible it would not be put down to brilliance, but to a general flakiness.
christmas views want
Lately I did a film called All I Want for Christmas and it was well received. This gave me a new point of view and a new respect for my work as an actress.
thinking trying together
There is no point trying to figure out who is guilty or not at un-balancing the planet. I think we need to figure out and solve the problems together and not isolate from each other.
teenager cynical acting
Acting is something that I've done since I was so young. I always felt - certainly as a teenager - really cynical about acting. I definitely didn't feel like it was something I wanted to do, and so I really took it for granted.
strength beautiful strong
The ways in which people are damaged are the ways in which they're strong. It's what makes people interesting - what they've overcome and how, and what they haven't and how that's become a good thing. Almost everyone's life is both a gorgeous story and a tragedy. I think being alive is really, really hard, and I'm constantly stunned and amazed by people who make it interesting and beautiful.
risk roles stuff
Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.
goes-on world doe
It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.
world want bigger
I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.
jail littles actresses
It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.
taken school years
I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.
