I Need To Have My Hands On

War's Dirty Little Secret Is That Some Men Love It. I'm Trying To Unpack Why, To Look At What It Means To Be A Hero In The Context Of 21st-century Combat.

I Always Want To Make Films. I Think Of It As A Great Opportunity To Comment On The World In Which We Live. Perhaps Just Because I Just Came Off "the Hurt Locker" (2008) And I'm Thinking Of The War And I Think It's A Deplorable Situation. It's A Great Medium In Which To Speak About That. This Is A War That Cannot Be Won, Why Are We Sending Troops Over There? Well, The Only Medium I Have, The Only Opportunity I Have, Is To Use Film. There Will Always Be Issues I Care About.

Am I A 'woman Of Action'? I Don't Think Of Myself That Way.

I'd Love To Just Think Of Myself As A Filmmaker, And I Wait For The Day When The Modifier Can Be A Moot Point.

I'm Drawn To Filmmaking That Can Transport Me. Film Can Immerse You, Put You There.
