One of the magical things about Nashville is just how many incredibly talented people are here and the way they support each other.

I think of feminism as more of a political ideology.

For me, the movies I like are all independent. And getting an independent feature made, it's like you get down to the selling organs part, and it just loses some of its luster.

The movie I've watched a million times is 'A Face in the Crowd,' directed by Elia Kazan, starring Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal. I first saw this movie, I guess I was in my early 20s. I'd never heard of it, and somebody told me about it, and I watched it and was just completely jaw-droppingly shocked at how current it was.

Always, in all circumstances, wear comfortable shoes. You never know when you may have to run for your life.

By luck I mean, when opportunity meets preparation.
