Personal Quotes

On working on the film Panic Room (2002) with such a big name star as Jodie Foster: "When I got Panic Room I'm like, 'Oh my God that's huge! It's bigger than huge.' I was kind of freaked out at first."

(about her love for acting) I love it because I love to tell stories. I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.

I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.
