I'd like to do something meaningful in the smallest ways, not just words or idiotic writing.

I always wrote. I've written stories since I was 9. We didn't have a computer at home, but my aunt Magda had one. Whenever I'd go to her place, I was in the basement working on her computer, writing stories.

A movie that is unable to elicit emotion isn't a movie.

As a director you want to have actors, not only surpassing themselves, but also going somewhere, going different places.

I'd rather be referred to as a precocious young Quebec talent, than not be referred to at all.

Women have to define themselves in the eyes of men. They have to fight for their rights, especially in a society that will pretend that there is no fight or no battle, that it's a cliché, that feminists are reactionary, all these things.

I'm sick of people imposing cultural references and influences on me, but I'm not sick of people talking about my age.
