I love the idea of directing, I'm not confident enough, but I'm more confident in, well, I'd love to write. I've sort of written my whole life and I think I have a knack for it, so I'd like to write something and see what people think and that would be my first step to directing.

Charlize Theron is perfect. She holds herself with so much poise and grace. I dont know if she looks so good because she has the best body or because she has the confidence to feel comfortable in what shes wearing.
