For me, I don't even like to promote my films but I have to because it's in the fine print of my contract.

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

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?"

You can't get work without working.

Americans are like Pac Man. We just eat our way through the day. There's always something going into the mouth.

Sometimes I think opposable thumbs were invented so teenage girls could use text messaging.

My roles are in some way like children to me. You don't ever really want to scrape one off your shoe.
