I think that we need to look at ourselves and look at the way women perpetuate misogyny. Because at a certain point you can't blame other people for things in your life. I've felt that most of the misogyny I've witnessed in my life - a lot of it, yes, it comes from men, but most of it professionally has come from other women.

My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic.

When you're doing something where you really like the material, it doesn't matter what medium it's in.

I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.

We can use the romantic relationship as a microcosmic example. Until you really understand the other person and where they're coming from and you understand yourself and how you contribute to things, you can never make that relationship better. And I think sometimes people don't understand how much these things are related.

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...

I can't think of anything that I turned down that became big and successful.
