Quote
1
[on David Bowie, the musician she would most like to be] His voice is very matter of fact, poignant without any filigree. Self-inventing, daring, and my wife would be Iman.
2
[on "The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society" by The Kinks] It seems on the surface to be almost cartoony and silly, but actually it's quite sad. Each song is a complete world with characters and locations. Big Sky is the song of the album, the one that makes me proud to be human. I listen anytime except when I'm writing: too many words.
3
[regarding Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)] When I was going through my first movie, I was going through a really bad breakup. It was rough on me. But I was in this state where everything was kind of science-fictional. My whole world was upside down. It felt like a murder had taken place. I was alive. And he was alive. But it felt like something had been murdered.

I feel very blessed that I can be good to myself in that delicate, creative way. It's good to nurture yourself, and it's good for the work, because it's always got room to grow.
5
(On her parents' differing religious backgrounds) There was no one specific belief but a kind of looser spiritual believing in just about everything. I think there's something spiritual in a very day-to-day, mundane existence. It's impossible to articulate, and it's happening now, almost like a perverse secret. . . That's always sort of fascinating to me.
6
(on certain male directors) They become kind of brands. It's much harder to do that if you're a woman. That's crucial for longevity...All those men are also personal. I don't mind that, but I do mind that it's not really questioned, whereas I or another woman is looked at as so self-obsessed. Men are just not being judged in the same way. They're never going to be annoying in the same way.
7
I'm not a cinephile. My films don't reference films. I'm more interested in rhythm and feeling.
8
(About losing her virginity:) I was 16. He was a 27-year-old grad student at Berkeley. I was always interested in sex, even as a kid. Sex includes shame and humiliation and fantasies and longing. It's so dense with the kinds of things I'm interested in.

When I was very little, I probably wanted to be more normal. I probably wanted the Laura Ashley bedroom, and instead I got thrift-store everything.
