I was concerned about filling my life up with something important to me. To me, it was just necessary

I made career decisions that came from the part of me who wanted to shun the limelight.

I listen to National Public Radio, which, to me at least, presents the most rounded view of things.

A lot of films come out before they're finished.

You get three hours' sleep and then you start all over again. Relentless. Pre-production was almost harder than filming. I was all over the city every day. It was really exhausting.

I've always wanted to work with Paul Newman. I had a couple opportunities in the past, and I didn't take advantage of it, so it was really fun to be working with him

I'm not an activist per se, but I have strong feelings about things. People can jump on celebrities for being ill-informed or naive, but I've got a right to say what I believe
