“I’m not sure which one of you is more interested, but I do know one thing for sure… I am interested.”

“Well… do you know how hard it is to make a movie?

“To me, the hardest part of filmmaking is thinking in terms of all those different things that are going to affect the story: Who is this person? How will they react? What will they say? What will the character do? What does her family think about her? Is it going to be a horror movie? A drama? A comedy? Or maybe it’s going to be a family drama?

But it would take a very different approach than a lot of what I’m doing in terms of characters. It would take a lot of time and patience to make really good movies, and I don’t think I’m prepared for that at all.”

You’ve created quite a bit of buzz over the past year with your projects. Is this a new thing for you?

“Yes! It has been for me. I’ve always been a visual storyteller, and as I grow older, I’m also more drawn to story. And I think one of the things is I’ve gotten smarter and I’ve learned that this is an important life lesson that I can learn from my mom, which I find incredibly helpful. She always says the one thing you don
