We all go through life living in little bubbles, which we share with people who think pretty much the same as us.
For some people, when you walk into a room, what your fame means to them can be like pointing a weird gun at them. It triggers something. They might get really giggly or flirty or cold or confrontational.
I love small weird art movies, and I love free mass entertainment.
We never thought 'Boyhood' was ever gonna become Oscar-considered. Our shooting budget was $2.8m for 12 years. Altogether. I didn't know if anyone would see it or appreciate it.
Financiers don't support their directors to cast properly. They don't have the vision of an artist. They're casting to spreadsheets, and it's making movies very mediocre. The movie business used to just be called the movies. Now it should be the business movies.
There really is a lot of pressure on actresses to look a strange and unrealistic way. You're not supposed to age. You're supposed to be perpetually incredibly attractive because that's the way the movie world is.
My dad was an alcoholic, growing up, so I knew how scary that was from a child's perspective - the volatility.
I've crafted a really weird career for myself.
Everyone should help women. Everyone has a vested interest.
I didn't want to be looked at. I remember when I was six or seven asking my mom why people were looking at me. She said, 'They're looking at you because you're a beautiful little girl.' But I didn't believe her. And yet I put myself in a business where people have to look at you. I think I learnt to block it out.
I think everybody wants love, and everybody wants to feel alive.
I feel like I'm getting the best parts of my career in my 50s.
In Hollywood, nobody knows how much everyone is making. It's all very hidden, and it's hard to change those things.
I know I've been really blessed in my life.
