That's the most important thing for me is just figuring out how and if I'm growing as an artist.

I had no shortage of wild times in my youth.

I'm a director first and foremost, and I hope that the fact that I'm female is just one of the many things that informs my unique perspective on the world.

I think most women have to fight very hard for the opportunities they want, which isn't to say that most artists don't have to do that, male or female, but I'm definitely aware of just how difficult it is to find stories that interest me, particularly.

Stage performing is a dying art form.

Any business today that embraces the status quo as an operating principle is going to be on a death march.

Til the infallibility of human judgements shall have been proved to me, I shall demand the abolition of the penalty of death.

Without question, dying on 'Lost' was the best thing I have ever done in my entire career.
