"That's a big deal for kids, when they come into the kitchen and the teacher is drinking coffee with mom. They react differently on the next day when you say: 'Sit down and shut-up!'"

"Come Christmas Eve, we usually go to my mom and dad's. Everybody brings one gift and then we play that game when we all steal it from each other. Some are really cool, others are useful and some are a bit out there."

"Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me."

Risk

Quote_1.png
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."

Experience

Quote_1.png
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."

Time

Sarah Polley
"So it's conceivable I'll do something insane, or more insane than Dawn of the Dead. If that's possible."

Dawn

Quote_1.png
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."

Work

"I'm never sure what's coming next, but I'm an open minded person and I welcome any challenge."

Challenge

Quote_1.png
Sarah Polley
"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."

Community

Quote_1.png
Sarah Polley
"I was concerned about that, because I've always been so specific about doing independent films, but I've never done anything that's so genuinely and ridiculously fun. And that's a great thing, for me to discover that that's possible."

Fun

Quote_1.png
Sarah Polley
"I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in."
