I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin's movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting.

[Depp] has real ambitions, but he is deeply afraid of being considered pretentious.

Its just, for me, the natural standard: a woman should be able to decide over her own body.

I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.

My father was an amateur filmmaker who shot 8mm color documentaries.

Kevin, as the whole cast is, just wonderful people and great people, and people who are attracted to this kind of material and accepting the idea of going to Newfoundland and knowing the kind of lack of amenities.

My father would tell anyone who would listen that this dentist thing he was doing was not his passion; cinematography was.
