It's hard to see potential in a rough cut - especially with comedy, which is hit or miss. This is where my lack of experience hurt me - not in the execution of the final product, but with my expectations for it in the early stages of post.

I think I'm incredibly self-aware to a fault.

Sometimes somebody has an amazing house party and you meet great people and you dance - I've had incredible experiences. But they have been so much fewer than the awful experiences where you're just standing around like, Why did I come here? We're all just putting on a show for each other and I might as well be in a museum.

Perhaps one day I will be fortunate enough to be upset over how I misunderstood I am. A girl can dream.

Don't wait for someone to enable you to make something.

I'm a director and a writer, and I'm used to having my way. I'm not used to being a vessel for other people.
