It's unreal. I mean, the dog backflips. It's amazing. Google Jumpy on YouTube - I had seen the dog first and I was like, "Y'all don't even know."

I don't go to see movies to see plots. I'm not interested in puzzles like an Agatha Christie story.

I don't think you want to preach to people. I don't think In A Valley Of Violence, and the same with The Sacrament, there's a social commentary and a political element to both the films, but it's not like, "Think this because I think this."

It's one of those things, when you look back on it, you'd go, "Oh, I could've done without that. If I could go back in time, I would do it different." That's the thing with violence in general.

It's a combination of yes - making a movie about the characters - and then, also, budget.

It definitely could have been a horror story [Valley of Violence], oh my God, if the dog was impossible. So could the horses.

Older actresses apparently have no sense of humor about being older actresses.
