Although our package of skin and bones looks very convincing, it is a mask, an illusion, disguising our true self, which has no limitations.
I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.
AIDS is a global problem and there should be a global solution found by the entire international community. It is really scary to see and imagine our world fall into pieces because we refuse to share and put in the common vestiges of our civilizations.
I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.
The ways in which people are damaged are the ways in which they're strong. It's what makes people interesting - what they've overcome and how, and what they haven't and how that's become a good thing. Almost everyone's life is both a gorgeous story and a tragedy.

So it interests me that that's sort of the place that I go all quiet, is when I'm onscreen. It's a bit strange.
We're still at a point where women [directors] aren't allowed to be mad visionaries. We have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we're responsible, that we can handle it, that we've got all our ducks in a row. . . most women who direct always come in on budget, always come in on schedule, and if they were wild and irresponsible it would not be put down to brilliance, but to a general flakiness.

People seem to be having these awesome sex lives and I'm just trying to find a life partner to go apple picking with. What's wrong with me?
I've been dancing my entire life. Jazz, hip hop, ballet. And then there's tap dancing. I love to tap.
There are only two ways to be a god: through creation or murder.
