In fact, she says, the sequence was shot on the day that she and the director split up, and both of them were doing it. It s not one of the prouder moments of my life, but when I saw the film I was really astonished to find that he didn t include the entire context. I was terribly disturbed by that.

Nobody ever does anything for any single motivation.
I felt that it was a cop out for Gough to say that A caused B, because there s actually more of a story behind the entire rape event. The immediate outcome of it was that I was sent through the legal system and National Health Service counselling system, which was incredibly dehumanising. I felt that I was nothing but a statistic. Then I looked back on my entire life in Singapore and realised that all my life I had been processed. I led the perfect life.
