My Husband Didn't Want The Divorce, But I Did. So There Was A Lot Of Bitterness Initially. Once We Got To The Space Where We Understood That We Have The Most Important Thing In The World In Common; No One Else Shared That Commonality.

It Was A Journey To Get There, But It's A Beautiful Place To Be.

I Recognize The Amount Of Time That It Takes As A Director. I Made The Choice To Stop Taking Roles Outside Of L.a. Because I Didn't Want To Miss Any Of My Child's Life.
