I'd love to make films in England, and I tried to. I think there's a wealth of amazing talent and astonishing writing over here; there just seems to be more of a culture of developing films than actually making them.

I think it's a mistake to try and overthink how you are going to be received, because that assumes that you are going to be received in the first place.

I look for challenges. I really do.

What attracted me to 'Eclipse' was that it is a great story and a tremendous challenge for me as a filmmaker.

I was really a little housewife with two small children, and I had a husband who really didn't want his wife to work. He didn't like the competition. That's why I'm not married to him anymore.

The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That's why we didn't sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.

Just going through a marriage and a divorce - which I essentially did by 21 - will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.

Ah, there's a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who's, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he's a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art.
