I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.

I feel like I've lost 10 years of my life to cancer.

Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.

I felt giving birth was the most creative act of all my creative acts - literally creation!

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

After I left college, I went to work at the Royal Opera House in London, which became a real catalyst for me because it made me realize that I was interested in cinema and in the way life is thrust at you. So I started making films.
