I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.

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

I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.

There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.

You dont necessarily have to be religious to pray.

I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.

I can't do Los Angeles. I've always been the anti-Barbie. I don't want to be in a place where almost every woman walks around with puffy lips, little noses and breasts large enough to nourish a small country.
