Take a step back, evaluate what is important, and enjoy life.
Usually, the extras have a different mentality. I had the mentality of an artist, because I was a 'ballet-rina.' But most extras are out to make a fast buck for nothing. They're 'atmosphere.'
People aren't so interested in seeing movies about women's problems.
I want to write more, because I think I've got a story to tell.
I want to write about my experiences since 'Speedbumps.'
I have been off the motorcycles for about 20 years now, but that doesn't mean I can't still do it.
I recently saw the movie about Ray Charles, and there's a scene where he falls down and the mother doesn't help him. She says, I don't want anyone to treat you like a cripple. I've fallen down before, and Molly will say, get up and just go.
I don't consider that I have to judge any of the movies I make all the time, but people are always asking me, 'What's your favorite movie?' And I never know what to say.
