My mother used to dress rather risqué when I was a kid, and that sort of shocked me. I always thought moms were supposed to wear cardigans and flats, but she was in leather bracelets and minidresses. In hindsight, it was pretty cool, but I'm probably more conservative because of it.

Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'

There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. Furthermore, I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. Furthermore, I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.
