million money time whether
Whether you're making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, there's never enough time.
feelings sound music-is
Music is what our feelings sound like.
differences making-a-difference want
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
ambition thinking ambitious
Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.
editing ego coins
Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
ignorance doubt cynicism
Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.
cameras helping sometimes
Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.
want directors comfort
I cherish each director that I have. I want to be maneuvered out of my comfort zones. I don't have the time to prepare.
discovery quiet-moments made
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
love-is directors rely
I rely on my directors, a lot. I love being directed.
soul feels your-soul
Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.
parenthood remember
It's true: I don't remember what life was like before parenthood.
friendship night my-best-friend
I love Saturday nights with my best friend and a big bowl of pasta, wanting a good scare, something that will say, 'Listen, your life is not as bad as this. Your life can be so much worse'.
long details littles
I bring myself innately to it, yeah. I bring those details as much as I - what I don't obsess over is, there are certain ways I might've pushed it even a little more. For example, [to Warren] your accent. I know Warner Bros. at one point came in. I don't know, until you came to set, I know I wore that long tartan skirt and the ruffled blouse for that.
