ADD QUOTES
- Rachel Griffiths: (About directing) I'm so creative in that environment. I'm so motivated to collaborate with people and help them realize the kind of collective vision. I love to work with the team and the problem solving - It's problem solving in a really vigorous way that acting. Acting is like playing, while directing is really fun, sort of like an orgy.

- Rachel Griffiths: (About her second short film "Roundabout") It's about a man who has a nervous breakdown, which I call Anxiety Has Arrived, as if I wanted to put you in the seat of having an anxiety attack.

- Rachel Griffiths: (About Alan Ball) Somehow this guy is someone that can go places that no other writer can take people, where they stay with him and go back for more. He explores their kind of darkest neuroses, and I think it's his discipline of being a sitcom writer that he just knows when to give us a scene or a line that takes the pressure valve and lets our steam out; he's so original.
