Everything I see, I now see through a mother's eyes.

The older I get the more of my mother I see in myself.

When I stopped seeing my mother through the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself.

Every parent has those moments where they look at their child and think, 'There's a demon in those eyes and no one can see it but me!'

I was one of those daughters who saw my mother as my enemy when I was a teen.

I luckily had a very charming, lovable mom who I think everybody could see bits and pieces of their mom in.

I barely saw my mother, and the mom I saw was often angry and unhappy. The mother I grew up with is not the mother I know now. It's not the mother she became after my father died, and that's been the greatest prize of my life.

And sometimes I do films so my daughter can see me work.

When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.

My mother has become my daughter and I've become her guardian.
