For me, habit is just a synonym for death.

Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.

I like intensity. If it's too mellow, I feel like, bleah. I like intensity, because it's way of reaching spaces inside of you, and it's my need of knowledge, of knowing about myself regardless.

I believe such illumination comes if you're open to the surprises the universe throws at you. You must be able to let go of the past, whatever success you may have seen, whatever your comfort, whatever your habits. To me, that's the key to loving life: Enabling yourself to step bravely into the unknown. Only there will you find yourself again.

The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.

I am not a woman staying at home.

I'm not a dancer, so I have to find a movement that belongs to me. I dance within my limits and with my imagination.
