I don't steer clear of genres. I simply haven't steered myself toward some of them.

My grandmother. She's someone I never met, and I would've loved to have met her. She's been a huge influence on our entire family, not just me. She is a mystery. It's not clear exactly what about her is truth and myth.

I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.

I have survivor skills. Some of that is superficial - what I present to people outwardly - but what makes people resilient is the ability to find humour and irony in situations that would otherwise overpower you.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.
