I've always been a huge fan of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies.
One of the things I think I can do in my lifetime is stop to remind myself that - and keep affirming that - women can sell movies.
When I was a little girl, I watched old movies maybe shot at Paramount Studios, and the fact that every day I get to drive onto the lot and shoot a show that sometimes takes place in the '40s, it's very interesting.
'The Philadelphia Story' is one of my favorite movies, as is 'Bringing Up Baby.'
I'm drawn to scenes in movies where you just see characters turning off lights in a room or putting the groceries away; it's like, 'I understand that.' We all have to get ready for bed, and we all do it in a different way, and yet it's all strangely familiar and strangely human.
When I was in a couple of movies in the '80s, I was winging it.
All generations think the present moment is the greatest but also have this fascination with before their time. I do the same thing. I see old British movies. I'm like, 'Man, I would love to be in London at that time.' But then I wouldn't be able to watch 'The Walking Dead,' I wouldn't have cable, and my pizza options would be limited.
The place was crawling with youngsters. It was good, because the kids were good. I can't make a general assumption. Again, you're probably getting, as a general theme from me, that I don't make a lot of broad, sweeping rules about movies.
Movies have been my way to get out of my backyard. I'm trying to let people know that movies change people's lives.
I always enjoyed movies and in hindsight I realise how captivating they were to me.
