Kirsty Meares: Amanda

Quotes 

• Amanda : For me being a director is like being a thief: the less people see my work in a film, the better I'm doing it.

• Amanda : Why is it that the men I leave end up together with the same kind of girls? Did you all take them to the same playground on the first date?

• Amanda : You move because you have a dream or... maybe because you want to run away from something back home. Or even because you watched too many movies when you were a kid and... you just think this is the place you belong to. You come here and find a job, just to pay the rent and eat while you are working on your dream. Then the job starts eating your time, your energy, your life... that job rapes your dream and throws you in a golden cage. And you fall in love with a city that is ruining your life. One day you find a smart guy wealthy, maybe even good-looking. He becomes the two hours of fresh air in your day. He gives you a balcony on a new life, your own life. But in a few months, in a few years if you are lucky, everything changes again: he changes, you change, and suddenly instead of facing your problems, you guys decide to bury them - by getting married. A few years later, the same problems come back to the surface. If you're good enough, you divorce. If you're not, you try to bury them again - even by making a child. And every time, they will be back, you'll make another baby, or maybe you'll go on a cruise, or buy a house... Sometimes, having a family becomes the dream of those who didn't succeed in anything else!

• Harry Mogulevsky : Are you punishing your marriage for being successful?

  Amanda : I just wish I wanted Richard, instead of needing him.
