Personal Quote:

I don't think I'm courageous. One man's courage is another man's comfort zone. We Need to Talk About Kevin explored a taboo subject: the idea of a less than perfect mother. I knew that, when an audience watched the film, there would be a gag reflex at some point. But I was fascinated by the subject - it scared me, and that interested me. See more »
