I always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon : I want to have my own world.
The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You’re a pawn in somebody else’s chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that’s very thrilling.
I’m not going to throw up or over-exercise myself into oblivion to look like a model. People tell me, ‘You’d work all the time if you just lost twenty pounds.’ What am I going to do, cut off my head?!
I am in an extended self-directed course of study. That is, I am in control of my own life.
It’s all about what you feel on the inside – and I’m feeling like a chocolate chip cookie because I had about ten of them last night!
Life is short, and I’d rather be sitting in the poor house doing what I love doing than making a lot of money and being miserable. Life is very short.
