That day I carried the dream around like a full glass of water, moving gracefully so I would not lose any of it.

I wrestle my fears with every big decision I make. Ultimately, maybe all that wrestling does is make you sick of your own thoughts, and so with nothing resolved you just go ahead and have unprotected sex. The moment I became pregnant, everything became out of gait. None of those fears seem relevant in the same way, and that's so like life, that once you do the daring move you're in a totally different landscape. Now it's a new story.

Some people are uncomfortable with silences. Not me. I’ve never cared much for call and response. Sometimes I will think of something to say and then I ask myself: is it worth it? And it just isn’t.

My way into making movies - into making things is general - has been through performing.

There's all different kinds of people, but I don't think it's that unusual that once you get like a little power, you get to do your weird thing even more.

I wish there were a class where we could just keep going around the circle. around and around, until we had finally said everything about ourselves.

I realize that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before we ask someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.
