"There isn't any correct way to interpret any piece of art...I don't know what your background is. I don't know if you have some sort of addiction. Do you relate to the brother, who is someone who is struggling as someone who isn't evil? Do you relate to the sister because you've been in that situation? It depends on your background. It depends on many things."
　　
　　"I was always interested in films about family dynamics maybe because I grew up in a huge family...I was fascinated by how does someone who is very liberal, open-minded, who is very much against like what the status quo of the government, how do they create family and sanctuary and utopia.And I think that is very human. Like in any repressive culture people try to create a special space, and what are the vulnerabilities of that."
　　
　　"...it would not be about one issue, because I think that even if you peg these women or say that they are queer, that is one of the many identities that they embody in the film. They are also part of a family, they are also part of a school, there is multiple aspects of how they interact in the world and how they're forced to interact in the world. I didn't want the film to be just about the girls, I wanted it to be about the family and how they struggle."
