(On her childhood in South Carolina): We were very rich, culturally. One Sunday each month, we would do this thing called Chamber Pots at somebody`s house. A classical music group would come over and we`d have dinner. There were thirty people (parents and kids) and we`d sit on the floor and listen to this beautiful music. I never appreciated it until I was grown up and realized how lucky I was to be exposed to so much, so young.

I did a grad film but that ended up hurting me more than it helped. My grad film was this over the top, gonzo, completely absurd sci-fi thing with non- professional actors. When you have actors in their fifties who are still doing student films, you`re not going to get top-of-the-line. It was a thing with a teleportation chamber, with a mad scientist and it was completely absurd. It cost $60,000, but it was completely campy, Mystery Science Theater 3000" (1988) kinda stuff, so when people looked at the short, they went, `Well, is this how the acting is going to be in Donnie Darko (2001)? We don`t think you can direct actors if that`s anything to go by.` I was like, `Give me a good actor, and I can direct.` It became really frustrating when the short came up and it gave people a reason to pass. I would recommend that if you want to do a short, then do a short that`s one or two scenes from the feature you want to direct, so they can see it. They really can`t think outside the box. If you want to get a feature made, I would go and scrape together whatever money you can get, find an actor who can really pull off one of the parts and shoot a few scenes from your feature screenplay that can serve as a short. That`s the best evidence that you can give them. That`s what Wes Anderson did with Bottle Rocket, it was originally a short film. And it worked."

People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.

- Douglas MacArthur
