I think I'd be in an entirely different business if it were easy.

When I was 12, all I wanted was to be good at school, and to do something admirable, something you can't take away from me because I'm not popular or beautiful enough.

I think a lot of the time, the studio system is so compelled to kowtow to its fear that women are not going to be found sympathetic. It just sort of euthanizes any hope of more diverse examples of the emotional realities of people. Representing my gender, I think, "Well, I have those emotions, why don't those ever get brought to the screen so I can feel recognized?"

I love the rebelliousness of snail mail, and I love anything that can arrive with a postage stamp. There's something about that person's breath and hands on the letter.

I'm not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.

Well, I can fake my way around some things, but I don't think I would be good at betting.

I'm fascinated by how Hollywood has changed since I started. Today it's about immediate delivery. There's less risk and less art.
