In fact, there's an entire universe out there that's pretty much indifferent to struggles that big, no matter how serious they've been in your life.

More quotes by Sarah Polley
We're in this space right now where things are very precarious for women and things in the States are so terrifying. There are so many rollbacks of rights women have gained - and it can happen quickly, more quickly than we think. I think it would be good for us to think back and ahead to protect the space we're in.
Sarah Polley
I feel like we want women to be simpler, less complex, so we project a lot of versions of simplicity onto them to fit that.
Sarah Polley
With being a mother, I feel like you choose how you spend your time so much more carefully - which is a good thing.
Sarah Polley
I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.
Sarah Polley
Acting is something that I've done since I was so young. I always felt - certainly as a teenager - really cynical about acting. I definitely didn't feel like it was something I wanted to do, and so I really took it for granted.
Sarah Polley
It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.
Sarah Polley
My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.
Sarah Polley
I just feel like it's so amazing every few years when I'm not making a film to act and basically go back to film school and just watch other filmmakers work and try to be a part of somebody else's vision. So I feel like you do use two very different parts of your brain, and it's great to be able to jump back and forth.
Sarah Polley
I'm a control freak and I like to be overprepared, and I'm overly organized and I'm not in the moment a lot of the time.
Sarah Polley
All of my short films are about marriages, and I think that this probably comes from some kind of unconscious fascination with my parents' story and what they went through.
Sarah Polley
Some of the funniest moments I've ever experienced have been in the midst of tragic situations in my life.
Sarah Polley
I'm never sure what's coming next, but I'm an open minded person and I welcome any challenge.
Sarah Polley
Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.
Sarah Polley
I am aware that I've generally been more attracted to introspective roles, but it's sort of bizarre, because it's the opposite of who I am in many ways. I think I'm quite an extroverted, loud person. 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.
Sarah Polley
Well, because Dawn of the Dead can take place anywhere and it shows that actually the entire planet is contaminated, I would say that it shows the new face of our world - one person, one race, united against the invisible destructive force.
Sarah Polley
I always look for an intense experience, an intense ride. There is nothing better than a good zombie movie where you run crazy and blow at monsters! It was a physical shoot and I enjoyed it.
Sarah Polley
I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.
Sarah Polley
