Quote:
"I think the uncertainty of a basic objective truth is in my films, and that's part of me as a Canadian. That's a cultural thing that has been handed down to me. That there's not one truth that everyone must obey, but that there are different realities for everyone. That other perspectives matter and can be challenging and difficult to deal with, but cannot be dismissed. And I do think that at its best, that's what Canada is."
-- Sarah Polley
