I'm really interested in making movies that people see: I've made a lot of independent films and it's really depressing when no one sees them.

It's really hard to stay healthy over the long term of making a movie so that's why those things matter when you're trying to keep your health, literally.

I really enjoy the direct dialogue with the fans. I'm very cognizant of my audience. I'm a trained storyteller and entertainer, and I know I wouldn't be able to work at the level I work at if people didn't enjoy what I did.

I love the finality of film. When you make a movie, you know the beginning, middle, and end.

I love physical comedy. I love Oscar Wilde, I love Shakespeare comedies, I love improv.

The great thing about Twitter is, you get a lot back, and I read through a lot, and I want my fans to know that I do read a lot, and it's why I do respond or retweet clever posts, and I'm constantly amazed by the cleverness of people on Twitter. I just think it's a really great tool to communicate with fans and influence conversations and raise awareness about things I'm interested in, that I think deserve some attention.

I don't think there's one right way to do anything. There's no one best way to be a woman. There's no best way to be a mentor. I'm just trying to be me and be authentic and live my truth and be as inclusive and interested in other human beings as possible. I'm an actor by training, which means that I study human beings and human behavior. That's what I try to do and what I love to do.
