Of course any kind of film process has ups and downs and days where you're stuck and have breakthroughs.
Ours was a loving, nurturing household, but, at the same time, my parents' goal was to make all their children self-sufficient.
Telling everyone I wanted to go into forensic anthropology was my form of rebellion.
The thing that every parent hopes for is that the baby's healthy, I'm healthy. No matter how you feel, that's the most important thing.
There's not a higher stake than someone having to face their own death.
What keeps me sane the most is, honestly, the Serenity Prayer.
