“Writing is close to acting. In directing, you control. Acting, you can...” — Elaine May Quote

“Writing is close to acting. In directing, you control. Acting, you can't control how good you are, and you can't control how good you are when you write. You can try to be good. Directing, you can't really control either, but you can think about it.”

“As a woman, they think I want to show that I'm a nice person. I'm no one to be feared. When it comes down to it in the end, you're just as rotten as any guy. You'll fight just as hard to get your way.”

“With my addictive personality I'm afraid to start watching a TV series, but I love 'Law & Order' - it's so straightforward and has no plot. It's a real pleasure.”

“The things I want to focus on are music, writing, directing, and developing stuff.”

“I started making music videos in my twenties and made my first feature, 'Guncrazy,' at 29. I then spent the greater part of my thirties directing features.”

“I don't want to say I'm never going to direct again, but directing's hard work.”
