I think that I need to work on being comfortable at being normal, everyday-ish on camera. Unlike a lot of actors, I think that's the thing that I'm not so comfortable with.

Unless it's a specific accent, or something about physicality you have to change, I am generally not such a conscious actor.

I think everybody who really wants to change things has to allow themselves to be angry in a constructive way, and you have to fully understand the thing you're trying to change. We really need to get serious about this now; there needs to be real, effective programs. I think there needs to be a little bit more strategy involved and a little more realism, to be pragmatic and realistic, looking at the way we as women contribute to the problem. Once the second half of the population stops doing it, it's going to end.

The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.

A director should cast a person who fits into their script.

I don't think I'm an outsider at all.

You always fear, when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story, that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson...
