I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.

I'm shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, 'What do you do for a living?' I don't know if I've earned that.

A Single journey can change the course of a life.

It's all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I'll go to an extreme. I'll wear foundation, bright blue or bright red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs.

I need someone physically stronger than me.... I am always on top. It's really unfortunate. I am begging for the man that can put me on the bottom. Or the woman. Anybody that can take me down.

I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

Maleficent has suffered abuse in the past, and there's a reason why she is now as furious as she is. And I think that children who have been outcast and abused in any way will relate to her. There's a beautiful side to her; she's not just a dark person. She has all these facets. And that is interesting.
