I think at any age, you can stay open and creative and excited.

As a filmmaker and film student, I think it's really interesting to hear what a director did and how they figured out how to do things.

I hope I haven't grown up. The cliche for all artists is that you don't want to lose that child inside. I think when you get sedentary and set in your ways, you can lose a lot of that spontaneity and creativity. I hope I'm holding on to that.

I don't think about age. It's more about the spirit. I've known Nikki since she was five. And Nikki is a special spirit.

Can you have it all, as a woman? Can you be a creative artist and have stability and a home life? How much can you stretch yourself as an artist?

You don't pay the same price for a Ferrari as you do for a Honda Accord. But for some reason, for movie tickets, you're asked to pay the same price for 'Avatar' as you are for some $2 million movie, which is kind of a weird thing when you think about it.
