I've made movies that were adaptations and I've been kind of frustrated by the process because, you know that old axiom, 'It's never as good as the book'? It's often true because nothing competes with your own imagination. When you're reading a book and you imagine something in your head, nothing's going to compete with that.

We all appreciated a certain aesthetic, and with that appreciation came a certain stylized presence.

Everybody enjoys when a woman is her own character in a movie or otherwise.

When you can find a strong character and a director that does want to protect the integrity of all characters, female and male, then you have a good deal.

Injustice can never be stood for.

I wanted to be a disgusting, oozing zombie, not a sexy, cleavage zombie, which is what I was expecting, given my previous film work.

Hollywood actresses age in dog years. I'm 25 in the rest of the world, but I'm about 48 in actress years. I'm just around the corner from my midlife crisis.
