Most photographs, to me, are description, but they lack insight.

A lot of photographers walk around looking for something 'out there,' but I'm very much interested in what's 'in here.'

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.

You can't see fear or lust; you can't photograph someone's anxieties, how disappointment feels. Photographs are approximations.

My first film was a big dud at the box office, and my second film did decently. I used to wonder how it would feel to have a hit film. I thought I'd be larger than life, but I'm not feeling anything I imagined. It's a completely different experience.

I usually feel like the role comes to you to sort of illuminate some piece of where you are in your life. I feel like I myself am a single woman and I'm childless - by choice - at this point, and I don't know what will happen.

Created in the awesome image of God, men and women know that life has a meaning beyond 'eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.'

Indeed, many of life's most fun and pleasurable choices come with potential dangers. It's important for my son to grow up recognizing that what might appear exciting or inviting at first glance could also have eventual negative consequences.
