Brad Pitt seems to have no problem getting parts that he wants, nor does Angelina Jolie. Not that I'm saying I look like either of them, but I just don't think that it has anything to do with that. It's the emotions or characters you are able to take on that will get you work, not necessarily the way you look. Obviously, beauty can open doors - it is Hollywood, after all - but that's not enough.

I don't have to work just to work anymore. More interesting parts come my way, so I can afford to say, 'I don't want to make that.'

A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

I like the idea of accessibility, coming from a lower-middle-class background myself, I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to all women over the world.

Television is also a great tool for women. As you know, the best female roles are often on television, so it's a very exciting time. I've really embraced it. The pace is great, but also not so great sometimes. You feel like you have to make sure to pay attention, at all times, to not let anything slip through.

I feel as if sometimes women can't deal with what's going on and they have no one around who actually understands.

I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.
