I'm such a geek.
I have a feeling that very soon I'm going to fail very, very big. I'm going to try something and everybody's going to be like, 'What was she thinking?'
I don't want people to look at me.
No one ever recognizes me.
I was excited that my films would finally see the light of day and people would see them. But I never imagined that such nice things would be said about a lot of my films.
I grew up poor.
It takes me a long time to make a big purchase.
I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.
I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
I love fall because I love the whole cuddling aspect of it, and a sweater dress has that vibe of I'm going to hunker down and be warm, but it's also very feminine.
One of my favorite parts of being an actress is being a detective.
I am not one to go for traditional female roles, because I don't think traditionally female characters are very interesting, and I don't think they represent real life.
I'm working hard to break free of stereotypes that the film industry has created and nurtured around women.
In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I'd like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that's probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it's makeup and hair, it's pouty lips - it's not real.
We have a long way to go in the world in all industries. If I'm in the situation where I have equal experience to the other actor and my role is just as significant, there is no reason why I should be paid less. It's not really part of my world anymore, because I just won't accept it.
The reason we like acting is connecting to other people.
I'm really inspired by stories I didn't know about.
I look at all the ingredients of a film and say, 'Is this a positive thing that I'm putting into the world? Is there honor and respect in the way the story is being told about them? And would they approve of that?'
I just want to see more women in film and behind the camera. I'm tired of seeing movies from one perspective.
