(On becoming a filmmaker) "My mom raised me by herself and she has always been supportive of me though, initially, she was quite reticent to have her daughter get into the arts. My entire family are pragmatic, business-oriented people, with blue collar values. I was the black sheep for a long time, and I loved that and resented it at the same time. Then when I started making my own films, I began recruiting my family to be a part of the process with me, to work in films."
