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

Honesty is not synonymous with truth.

The biggest research of all when I do a character is self-examination. You look at yourself and you ask, 'How am I similar to this person and how am I different?'

I'm hooked on Polanski's films, his psychological thrillers. I love 'Rosemary's Baby,' I love 'Repulsion.'

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

In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.

Just because I’m telling a story about a woman losing faith is not my rebellion against what I grew up in. If anything, it really affected the way I approached the story, and in fact, approach everything. I don’t judge my characters.
