I love mentoring young filmmakers and girl filmmakers.

My grandparents lived in Hollywood, and I was surrounded by the romanticism of movies ever since I was a child.

My connection with Basquiat was really in Los Angeles, which really was a whole different world to what he was experiencing in New York.

I think the main thing I remembered throughout all of filming it was just that she just was extremely self-destructive. I think everybody can relate to that a little bit. She doesn't like herself.

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

New York is a city where people are ambitious. They want things.
