(On becoming a director) I started at the bottom and worked my way up.
2
My inspiration is hearing people go from the dark to the light and hearing people's stories of struggle. It inspires me to keep writing.
3
(When asked who she would thank if she won an Oscar) I'm going to thank everybody that tried to get in my way and stop me because they made me want it more.
4
It's important for me to work with people that are down to earth. I won't work with an actor just because of their name value. Life is to short to not have a great experience while making a movie and when you work with someone who is a jerk it can ruin the experience.
5
Living in my car when I first moved to Los Angeles was a nightmare. I don't think the two cats that lived in the car with me were all that happy about it either.
6
I've made a lot of mistakes, but I have no regrets"
7
The show I worked on that I love the most was "The Osbournes". They hid nothing and just put it out there. That to me is reality television at its best.
8
If I can't be exactly who I am, then who am I?
9
The biggest issue I had with directing reality was most of it wasn't real
10
"Reality television has taught me to be a better listener and story teller. I can't say that I'm a fan of the shows I've done, but it did provide the necessary elements for me to tell the stories I need to tell in narrative form".
11
(on traveling to Asia) "Being in Los Angeles can be extremely draining and superficial. I travel alone to connect again and remind myself how fortunate I am to be alive".
