Jean-Marc Vallee

I couldn't stand still at a desk for another year. I wanted to go out there and make films.

Trust the acting.

I love those films where I feel the director's confidence - where he doesn't need to overdo it with the shots and the cuts.

I love Hindi films.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
