Life has all sorts of hills and valleys, and sometimes you don't end up doing what you had your heart set out on, but sometimes that's even better!
I enjoy co-directing or even being there just for support because you get to see your script come to aural life in front of you.
I was born in 1970 in Illinois, but all the life I remember I've spent in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Poor Harper Seven Beckham, having to live with that name all her life. It's the Boy Named Sue syndrome; at the very least it will toughen her up.
My clothes are fabulous - colourful, fun and by some very special designers. They deserve a better life than being sleeping beauties in a bed of tissue inside a trunk.

I love Lauryn Hill, Tracy Chapman, Fiona Apple. People like that. People you can really connect to on the most basic human level.

I love what I do. If I had my time over again, I'd probably do it for nothing.
