As a performer, I'm constantly fascinated with the idea of being able to know what anybody else's experience is, and how misleading all informatives, like appearance, can be.

The great news is that that sort of group of people and that sort of sensibility is beginning to become more active again. And I think partly it just has to do with the time. It has to do with the culture of resistance. The necessity is for us to pull together and to speak up and to make work and be visible.

I made The War Zone when I had just given birth to twins, and my post-partum frame was very much on display there.

I was always, and I still am to a certain extent, one of those lazy people who spends a lot of time with Italian friends and yet constantly says I don't speak Italian. Things slow down when I start speaking Italian.

I'm from the same planet as David Bowie.

I have no problems with the NC-17 rating. I want more NC-17 films. More adult cinema!

Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place.
