When prompted about whether viewers would see her as a credited **screenwriter** or **director** in the future, she replied succinctly, \u201cNo.\u201d However, she humorously added, \u201cI always say no and turn around and change my mind,\u201d hinting at her open-minded approach to evolving in her career.<\/p>\n
