I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.
Sarah PolleyWith being a mother, I feel like you choose how you spend your time so much more carefully - which is a good thing.
Sarah PolleyIt's hard to give up that amount of control. It's scary to make yourself that vulnerable. Because you might do all kinds of things that are unplanned or are unexpected that maybe don't work, and you have to trust the director to see that and work around those things. I find it really scary.
Sarah PolleyI enjoy doing my more intimate and less commercial pictures and also I enjoy directing.
