I love getting people's opinion of what I'm doing.

I love the Kathryn Bigelow example: she didn't just do war movies - she did them better than other directors.

I love doing impersonations of people.

I do find that it's easier to get Latino-themed movies... but I don't think there's that stigma anymore. I think that what's harder is to be a woman, not to be a Latina.

I am grateful that I'm working, but I also have to say I've worked really, really hard and had to fight a lot.

I wish I had seen some women directing before - that would have given me the idea of who I was.
