My work is about giving voice to the unheard, and reiterating the voice of the heard in such a way that you question, or re-examine, what is the truth.

I have a lot of optimism about new doctors because I think it's really clear that it's a lot of hard work and no guarantee of a lot of money.

I mean, I think that - as an actress, in particular, I'm basically a fool, and I see the world upside down.

Movies, as evidenced by a chorus of protesting and celebrating Americans, influence broader trends.

If I do three interviews in a day, I can be exhausted, because the process of hearing everyone requires that I empty out myself. While I'm listening, my own judgments and prejudices certainly come up. But I know I won't get anything unless I get those things out of the way.

I'm interested when things are upside down - because there are so many possibilities in that one moment. There is a lot that is exposed.

People in power have to be careful about what comes out of their mouth. They have to find exactly the right word that can't be attacked.
