My films are doing well in Polish cinemas, so I don't really have problems financing them, and my international accolades are helpful.

In Poland, some people think that I'm kind of scandalous because I'm a woman who should stay at home with her kids instead of making movies about what I want and, even worse, addressing Polish taboos like church, homosexuals and history.

My horizons are also broadened by working with so many people around Europe. They taught me what I never would have learned just staying in my own country.

The attitude of the Catholic Church towards homosexuality is well known - it is treated as something unnatural, even as a disease.

This mixture of Polish, not Polish, of being European, gives me a perspective to see Poland through "new eyes" - paradoxically, more closely... because it's from a kind of distance.

I'm a producer, writer, director. I'm putting everything together very fast, and I'm strong and focused on making the next film as fast as possible. From one film to the other, I'm getting better. I'm learning - that's my style.
