Some of the funniest moments I've ever experienced have been in the midst of tragic situations in my life.

I think that cynicism can often be mistaken for wisdom.

So I decided to make a film about our need to tell stories, to own our stories, to understand them, and to have them heard.

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.

It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.

Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.

All of my short films are about marriages, and I think that this probably comes from some kind of unconscious fascination with my parents' story and what they went through.
