Everything that I am going to do as an actress doesn't matter where it's coming from. It just has to be interesting.

Growing up, my parents treated my brother and me with absolute equality.

I think 'NH10' could have been done equally well by anybody else, and it's not a 'female-centric' or 'male-centric' film. It's the story that will appeal to the audience.

I don't think that a film should be known as 'male-centric' or 'female-centric,' but it should be known for the story. That would be really nice, and viable, too.

Creativity is not talent but attitude.

I really believe that cultivating creativity, as a general principle, is about managing your energy.

Being a full-time musician back before I had my son, it was sort of too much 'me' all the time. I felt like a bit of a narcissist, always doing just my art - even though I feel like artists are doing a service as well. I needed something a little more literal, instead of writing music and hoping people enjoyed it.

I was an A student and I liked creative writing.
