[on Quebecois cinema] Maybe we are stronger because we have nothing to lose. We can't compare, so we don't feel that we have to compete with Hollywood.

[on her film 'Gabrielle'] I had non-professional actors, and some were mentally challenged. But I brought the script to my production and they were into it. They said yes. They never asked me about audience. I had to let go of perfection and get into the present and just try things. I had to be open and receptive to magical moments and just appreciate what was happening. Sometimes you have flaws. You make mistakes, but you have to embrace them. Gabrielle and all the people in this movie taught me to take life as a gift and be open to difference. More than anything, I just hope it encourages people to go out and sing. And sing loud!
