Sarah Polley Quote
-
I think you have to keep your distance from mainstream Hollywood in order to be a normal human being. I mean, I work there, and I like being there, but I love having an anonymous life. I think there`s definitely such a thing as being too famous.
The reason why I stayed in Canada had everything to do with the kind of films we used to make before the commercial mandate came in effect at Telefilm. They were films that asserted an independent vision of the world. They weren`t just cheap versions of American genre films...but movies that spoke to the human condition. Now, I`m beginning to wonder why I stayed and if it was a huge mistake.
[On herself and other Canadian actors & filmmakers, such as director-actor-writer Don McKellar, who stayed in Canada rather than go Hollywood and make movies in the U.S.] If Canadian films don`t have a purpose, then what are we still doing here? We`re beginning to freak out a little. Why make a commitment with so little reward? The Canadian films out there have been so weak, it`s been kind of depressing".
