Quote: "I like to take time off between films․ I think it's important to live your life․ I don't think that if you are just an editor all the time that you are going to be a good editor․ You've got to go out and experience things, see things and travel․"
Quote: "In a way, I've never looked at myself as a woman in the business․ I've just looked at myself as an editor․ I mean, I'm sure I've been turned down because I'm a woman, but then other times I've been used because they wanted a woman editor․"
