Jake Kasdan

When you take on a project, you have to be certain that you can make the best version of whatever it is you're given.

My first pilot gig, in fact my first job in television, was 'Freaks and Geeks,' and the experience of directing that pilot was probably the single most formative of my directing life.

In general, I've been treated well by reviews, and there are times when I haven't. The truth is that I've come to feel like I'm better off without reading them.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I'm not a 'Star Wars' geek.
