I chase after inspiring stories.

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

You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.

I’m someone who can sit in a Buddhist temple, and I can sit with Pentecostals or with Orthodox Jews, and I still feel like I am in tune with all of them.

I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.

I've done TV, but never where you're given this much time to live with a character, to study the tone and hone it and repair stuff, to go back and watch old episodes and go, "Oh no, that's a misstep. That's a victory. I should do more of that, less of that."

Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.
