Any film that you see is never just the director. If it's a film that you love, it's not so easy to say, Oh it's directed by this person - that means everything that person directs is going be wonderful.

I was the oldest of the children in my family. I had to do a lot of diaper-changing and lunch-making. I was taking my little sister to ballet, picking up my brother, sort of being a super-nanny.
