Today is my birthday: To Bridget, who cannot cook, but who we love - just as she is.
![2 Days in Paris, 2007.Julie Delpy on female directors: When my friends that are aspiring women directors tell me they walked into a room and didn’t get the job and say, “I don’t know what I did wrong — they didn’t go for it. I was passionate, I was telling them how much the project means to me.” I always tell them, “Don’t do that. Don’t be passionate! Ever! Be an accountant.” Because I think being a woman director, being this person in charge, [they think] we are weird, crazy animals. We can’t have this kind of calm — they really want people that they feel have no emotions. So I think emotions and women, it’s always been kind of a scary thing, I think, for a few financiers. I think they need reassurance that women are unemotional, because they feel that a good director should be kind of unemotional. They don’t make movies because they like movies — they make movies because it’s a business. So you have to be a businesswoman.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mded1q2Hwg1qen5slo1_500.jpg)

Ryan Gosling on director Nicolas Winding Refn: ‘Yeah, he would hug me a lot before takes. I don’t know what he was looking for, but he would come and hug me before the take and then and I didn’t even think that I was resisting the hug, but I had given in to the hug, but I had, because I had reached a point where I would even give in more to the hug and once I got to that place, he would look at me and say, “Go with God.” And then he would put in his iPod and not even listen to what we were saying, just watch and listen to music, and cry a lot.’
