But if you want to work… Exactly. I’ve certainly had my share of roles that I would have preferred not to do. But let’s face it, I’m a single mom and I have to pay the bills. There really isn’t a lot of work out there and I count myself lucky that I constantly have something going on. I do find that I’m leaning more toward directing and really enjoy doing interviews and making documentaries. I just spent four days backstage at Coachella interviewing artists.

Is that something that will be available to the public? We’ve been collecting this footage for a few years now and it will eventually result in a documentary film. This year we spoke with Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure, Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine, and John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X. It was just really a great year.

Time management has to be one of your strong points. Single mother, director, and actor…Well I definitely feel like everything is on my shoulders. It’s challenging for sure. Zoe’s dad just got married and has a new baby and his own personal stuff that he is dealing with, so I carry a lot of the responsibility for sure. This year, I even had Zoe with me at Coachella. Normally her dad takes her and he has since she was about five, but this was the first year that I had the responsibility of watching over her while working.

That had to be a handful. I’m telling you. I was in the pit for M.I.A. and she had all these kids charging the stage. Immediately I grabbed my blackberry and sent Zoe a message, “where are you!?” I couldn’t concentrate. I knew she was with a friend and I loved having her there but it was just so stressful.

Celebrity, Hollywood, music, drugs, body image… you are raising your daughter in a very precarious world. How do you present that to her? How does all that affect her? A friend of ours just lost her 16-year-old daughter to drugs. She wasn’t a bad kid and had no history of using drugs. It was just a one-time experimentation and it killed her. Just like that. It’s so sad and I could never imagine what that must feel like. It’s incredibly scary. The problem is most kids – whether in Hollywood or not – feel that they are invincible. So when something like this happens they’re like, “well that’s not going to happen to me.” Zoe has a really good head on her shoulders but she is curious and that scares me.
