Catherine Hardwicke Work Quotations

I respect all the teenagers I work with and feel that everything they have to say is just as valuable as anything I have to say.

I had a bunch of other projects that I worked really hard on after 'Twilight,' and the magic just didn't hit.

Before 'Twilight' was greenlit, I had four projects at four studios. I worked super-hard on all of them, but 'Twilight' was greenlit first.

As a director, we work ridiculously hard on every detail, and we do everything to the billionth degree, and mostly people notice nothing.

Some directors I worked with didn't even know how to read a blueprint, understand a plan.

I've worked on really big budget movies as a designer - 'Vanilla Sky,' 'Three Kings;' I've been in that world, and you can just see people get nervous.

Being in construction my whole life - I was trained as an architect - I always had to work with guys. And I always did my homework and then challenged them to figure it out faster than me. They don't want to be shown up by a woman.
