If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.

A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.

Any time you talk about the look of the film, it's not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.

A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.

I didn't dream about being a director. I didn't know I wanted to do something with film until the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Morris College in Atlanta, Georgia.

I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
