A couple of compromises in a row and suddenly you're very far way from the person you thought you were.

I wasn't actually very naturally good at economics. My brain doesn't work very well, in terms of mathematics.

We put limitations on the way that we think about things, on ourselves, think about all the boxes we live in, male or female, you're this age, that age, this is your job, this is not your job, everything is about getting boxed in. I think we accept a lot of those boxes, that labeling, and the way that we perceive the world, but what even is perception? It all seems pretty flexible to me.

I always feel like the editing room is like coming into the kitchen. What kind of a meal do you make from there? It can be anything.

I feel like, when the audience connects with something, they enjoy the experience so much that they want other people to go have it. They're like, "Don't talk about it. Don't tell. Just go!" It's a nice feeling to have people coming around it that way, protecting the ideas in it, so that everyone can see it for themselves.

So much of the world is being brought up on these stories that Hollywood is coming up with and exporting all over. They have so much power and influence, so it's really important that they represent women properly.

The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.
