I don't want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.

My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his yearning for something he could never have.

I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.

One of the elements in the film that really fascinated me was not to look at the world in bi-polar terms of us vs them or east vs west, which was a by-product of the Cold War.

Am I a 'woman of action'? I don't think of myself that way.

One should make morals judgements for oneself.

I don't believe in censorship in any form.
