I never tell anyone what to take away from a movie.

You don't have to kill somebody to play a murderer. You have to read the script and interpret the character.

We all are doing the best we can. I would like to say that I'm a walking poster board for feminism and women's liberation, but there are things that I do in my life that deeply, deeply fall short of being a statement for being a strong woman. I am flawed as much as anyone else.

That's where you can find things and modulate your performance and give the other actors something fresh to respond to. We've probably all worked with actors who when it's suddenly your close up, they get sleepy. I don't like that. It's selfish acting, and I won't tolerate it.

Hate, hatred for yourself, for other people, will confine you, but love can set you free.

My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
