It's not just women in film, 18-year-old girls feel pressure to do preventative injecting. I see someone's face, someone's body who has had children and I think, they're the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that? I look at people sort of entombing themselves and all you see is their little pin holes of terror... and you think, just live your life, death is not going to be any easier just because your face can't move.

There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.

Someone might have a germ of talent, but 90 percent of it is discipline and how you practice it, what you do with it. ... Instinct won't carry you through the entire journey. It's what you do in the moments between inspiration.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.

If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously.

It's not the normal way to look at things but I experienced death at a really young age and because of that it's been part of my mental landscape that death is really very possible.

For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.
