So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women.

I didn't understand how you could be an actor if you didn't also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.

One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

But, it has something to do with having belief in a human future and what that human future is. What is the future of humanity? How does this whole experiment not self-destruct with the environment and everything else going on?

One of my favorite stories growing up was A Wrinkle in Time. I loved that book. I still remember the image, so strongly, of all the kids coming out of their house at the same time, they're all bouncing a ball at the same time, and they all go back in at the same time. A Wrinkle in Time moved me deeply.

I think we're scared of intimacy - all of us, a little bit.

I think there is a general unrest or curiosity about what a human future is going to be like, and whether the way we're living is even sustainable.
