Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.

I just want to make sure that the thing that I see in it initially, that I think it can be, is not just going to be a horror film and reduced to a jump here and a scream there. But that you can take something away from it.

I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.

The experience of giving birth itself made me feel more womanly.

When I look at female characters, I want to recognize myself in them - my trials, my tribulations as a mother, as a wife, as a lover, as a daughter.

Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.
