My words

"At this point, between my third and fourth feature, I'm realizing that in my career my films marry a strong political impulse or undercurrent with a visual sensibility and a tone that’s more delicate, lyrical, and sensuous. And that's ultimately what makes them resonant and poignant."

"People are always so scared that if they don't do anything within the next two years, then it’s like they're just never gonna be anything. But I made a skateboarding movie and won an Oscar for it in my sixties. How the hell did that happen? I have no idea."

Dysinger’s Oscars acceptance speech is one of my favorites of all time.
