I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.

• I can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.
• Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
• There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
• There's no wrong way to experience a film.
• I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
• Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
• Faith is important to me.
• I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
• It's a very different thing, religion and faith. Religion is man-made, it's man-regulated. And faith, you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
• Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.
