based somewhat
The stories that I want to tell are completely, well, somewhat autobiographical. It's completely based on my own self-absorption issues and problems.
against camp feelings girl good jennifer led mixed people taking
I think people are led by their representation a lot. I know there were a lot of mixed feelings about Jennifer taking my movie. Some were really supportive, and some people in her camp were very against it, like, 'You did your Good Girl !' It's so crazy; it's about a role, it's about a part.
commercial drawer full notes small time wonder
I don't have a drawer full of ideas. I kind of look around and take notes and wonder what could actually be a whole movie. And each time, I think I'm going to do it more commercial this time; I'm going to get a big budget and make it. But I always come up with some small idea.
amazing direct
The fact that I get to write and direct my own personal story is an amazing thing.
movies obviously
My movies make a profit, but obviously not a fortune.
script
If the script is right, I'm not above doing a movie with broad appeal.
I'm not a producer and I don't even know the places my producer goes to, thankfully.
appalled dress gotta
I'm a director, but I gotta have the hair, the makeup and the heels. My mother would be appalled if I didn't dress up.
certain
I'll write a character with a certain actor in mind, but then once I start casting, I have to forget about who I pictured.
clearly encourage shown work
I would still encourage somebody, if they wanted to make a movie, to just go take a movie camera. That's clearly been shown to work.
hear people
I hear people talk in my head, and I write it down. I choose where they live and how they dress to be real.
offered scripts stack
I have a stack of scripts that I've read - I'm in the lucky position where I get offered things - but I haven't wanted to direct many of them.
definitely
I don't think of myself in a political way, though I am definitely a feminist.
change lacking realness thinks wants
Hollywood is lacking realness in their female characters. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that and wants to change it.
