You have got to have an agent. Its a business. But I think there is a way to be artful and commercial at the same time.

I'm lucky to have worked with great actors, my whole career.

I think it is really important to put out what you want so the world knows what to give you.

Being a creative person is a really personal process so there is no one-size-fits-all advice, that's kind of the first thing I'd say. Because everybody's goals are different. Everybody's talents are different. Some women that I'm talking to want to create a television show. Some women want to be a director. They want to use comedy in different ways, and I find that really fascinating. The main thing I would say is, start! Just do it. Keep going. When people come at you with the negativity and the nos, you've got to ignore it. Push through.

I'm not trying to have Jake Gyllenhaal's baby. I'm not a major fashionista. I'm not going through a lesbian phase. I'm just normal. I'm just really freakin' normal.

When I was in college I was accused of being a goody two-shoes. But every goody two-shoes has a bad side.

Most men I know rely on women to do all the literal dirty work.
