I know you only get one chance to make a first impression in a city – and I was so disappointed in myself for how that first season in New York had gone. It felt like a blown opportunity.

I was injured at the end of ‘Kill Bill.’ I hit the ground, instead of hitting the mat, pretty hard and busted my ribs and had to have surgery.

At AFI, you make three cycle films your first year, and then you make a thesis film your second year, and I watched Darren Aronofsky’s cycle films and was blown away – there was a young Lucy Liu, who was just part of that generation. And I just wanted to be part of that tradition.

I knew there were all kinds of interesting things going on at Google, but now that I’ve seen them, my mind has been blown – in a great way. They have all these amazing projects and people that the world doesn’t know anything about. I’m like a kid in a candy store – it’s an idea factory.
