"Je suis passionnée par les mythes, car ce sont à mes yeux des histoires canons, dont les symboles continuent d'agir sur nous. Et dans nos traditions mythologiques, un motif en particulier me fascine, c'est la descente volontaire d'un héros ou d'une héroïne dans un monde souterrain invisible aux mortels, par exemple le monde des Enfers dans les épopées grecques, ou l'Enfer chrétien. C'est toujours une initiation afin d'acquérir un savoir, un pouvoir, une guérison, une quête à la recherche d'une âme, ou encore pour une transformation personnelle."
