It's such a measure of your solidarity with Ed, that when you would give lectures, he would be wearing a tartan tie that matched. And I demanded that outfit, I thought it was so punk - her long skirt, she looked like a Scottish queen, so regal.

Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.

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

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

I didn't grow up watching film but as a Ukrainian-American, music and stories and dance are crucial.

Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.

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