I'm pretty squeaky clean. No big tragedies in my childhood or adolescence or adulthood. I've had a very easygoing, simple life.

Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.

There really are three types of religious movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.

I cannot even imagine college. I'm white-knuckling it just letting my son go to kindergarten for eight hours a day.

To me representing clairvoyance, how was I going to achieve that, how I was going to capture that? For me, it all became about her gaze and the way she takes you in. It's a rhythmic thing and a stillness thing to consider but these are little details, little nuances. We were invited to the sanctity of her home and there were roosters running around and she's screaming, "Jackie, be quiet!" Even though she's in the middle of the thing. And these are the details that we wanted to incorporate into our story.

I'm a full-time mom. I've never felt as prepared, as before maternity.

In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
