I didn't use to think anything was worth keeping private. Now I do.

I mean, I don't like anyone who likes themselves too much.

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

I think we need great artists making great work - women, men, whoever. I think what's great about TV now is there are so many different platforms that you can make really specific, specialized content. I wouldn't have gotten this part because I'm not really considered a "traditional romantic lead," so I created it for myself.

I loved the idea of doing something that has this misconception about what stewardesses were. And, I also love the idea that these girls were navigating a blatantly misogynistic society, with the girdle checks and make-up checks.

I love the solitude of being on a plane and finally getting to read an entire book and being left alone.

If an audience doesn't get that [Black Snake Moan] is a movie about overcoming exploitation, it could come across as incredibly misogynistic. That would be the worst thing in the world for me.
