I'm not necessarily a huge fan of YA movies. I haven't watched a lot of them.

I couldn't imagine screaming 'Action!' on an outdoor set over a wind machine or whatever.

Going into live action, the perception I had was that to be a director, you had to be loud, you had be physically fit, wear cool hats, have a beard, and yell, 'Action!' really loud. And I'm none of those things.

I like action. It's not typical, but it's a passion.

I'm a hard-core geek.

I've been asked about the glass ceiling a lot, and I don't think of myself as some kind of crusader going around smashing glass. I don't feel like I had to - and that is a very, very strong flag showing the people around me made it, so I didn't have to.

I've been watching things like 'Master of the Flying Guillotine' since I was 5.

I like action movies, and I prefer to watch a bad Hong Kong action movie to just about anything else.

I always want to do a big finale.

I want a space for people to feel safe and be creative. Actors want it, too. They want to feel like they're listened to, and they're safe to experiment.
