I totally love my job, and I wake up every day basically thinking about how can I do my job better. It never feels like a job. It's hard, and it's exhausting sometimes, but it never feels like - I would do this even if they didn't pay me to do it. That's a pretty amazing feeling.

Human beings are flawed and complicated and messy.

I think movies do change people's hearts.

A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.

Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.
