I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.

I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.

I think that cynicism can often be mistaken for wisdom.

I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.

I think what I've learned most from being an actress is that there's no method. That you have to invent this process over and over and over again, depending on who you're working with and what you're doing.

I've always been such a fan of short films - in fact, I never considered that I would actually make a feature. I just thought I wanted to make shorts for the rest of my life. They are a lot harder to have shown and a lot harder to find and see as an audience, but I don't know. It's just a form that I really love. I was just making them for the process, but ultimately, I did get them into festivals, and they did end up on television, and they had as much of a life as short films can.

I enjoy doing my more intimate and less commercial pictures and also I enjoy directing.
