Joanna in Film Quotes

​Bergman I consider the most influential film maker of all time."
​It's probably wrong to have a favourite anything, but I do, my favourite role I want to play is Martha in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" 
​​I was being cast for everything that needed nudity or sex scenes. I had already neglected a high end modeling career not to mention the math degree. I realized I'd have to write my own roles."
My favorite directors of all time? Oh god. Bergman, Pasolini, Polanski, Fassbinder, Ferrara, Godard, Bertolucci, Truffait, Lynch, Peckinpah, Lars Von Trier, Cassavetes, Breillat, Sophia Coppola, we need more women, don't we? I've seen so many films that have left a lasting impression, we could be here all day."
