My Kids Are Young And My Life

Acting, For Me, Is Exhausting. I'm Always More Energized By Directing. It's More Intense To Direct. I Can Pop In And Express Myself, Then Pop Out Again. It's A Huge Passion For Me.

I Prefer To Commit 100 Per Cent To A Movie And Make Fewer Films, Because It Takes Over Your Life.

I Was Never The Ingenue Or The Pretty Girlfriend Of Tom Cruise In A Movie. I Didn't Have That Career, So I Don't Have To Compete On That Level.

I Really Did Feel Like I Was Surrounded By Family Members. I Didn't Have A Dad, And I Remember There Were All These Guys - In The Old Days, There Were No Women, Except A Makeup Artist Or, Occasionally, A Script Supervisor. So There Were Just Guys Who Taught Me How To, You Know, Whittle Wood, Or How To Pull Focus, And What The Camera Was Doing. And If I Was Being Bratty, They'd Sit Me Down And Tell Me. There Were Lots Of Rules About Not Being Late And Making Sure That You Didn't Spill Anything. So It Felt A Little Bit Like I Was In A Family.

My Kids Are Young And My Life With Them Is Really Stimulating And Really Full And Significant.
