“When you are trying to get a shot, you can't be pleasing everybody. And I tend to be sort of collaborative and a bit of a pleaser. And when I'm directing, people just sort of call me Black Hat Gabriela. Because suddenly they're like, "What happened to you?" Because I stop listening. And I feel strident. I feel rude. And I feel un-collaborative.” PeopleFeelsTryingBitsBlackHappenedListeningShotsHatsCall MeRudePleasersBlack Hats Author:Liz W. Garcia
“I'm never trying to make a statement about morality ever. If there's a statement to be made, it's "People are complicated. They do things that may hurt other people, or exploit other people, but they may do them for the right reasons, or out of desperation." I don't judge that sort of "bad" behavior. I'm only interested in a world where people break outside of the norm, and I believe people do whatever they have to do to relieve themselves of pain. I just want to watch and see how that plays out.” PeopleWorldTryingBelieveReasonPainI BelieveHurtBreakJudgingMoralityBehaviorComplicatedDesperationNorm Author:Liz W. Garcia
“Something you discover as a writer is that actresses who are successful are incredibly smart. For some reason, there's this myth that if you're a beautiful actress, you're not bright, you're a puppet. But it's completely the opposite. These are people with a finely tuned sense of story, and who are also strong and articulate. You have to be, to be a woman holding your own on TV and film sets.” PeopleReasonBeautifulFilmStrongSuccessfulSmartMyth Author:Liz W. Garcia
