I have trouble sometimes watching actors - even when they do a great job - with an accent.

Patricia [Rozema] is really special, and she really worked hard to make the environment and the landscapes' natural beauty come alive. She was not forceful with anything, but enabled it to really have this poetic nature.

When we're growing up there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be.

I've never been to Ireland and I've always wanted to go.

I am a feminist and I am totally pro-choice, but what's funny is when you say that people assume that you are pro-abortion. I don't love abortion but I want women to be able to choose and I don't want white dudes in an office being able to make laws on things like this. I mean what are we going to do - go back to clothes hangers?

I'm a huge Sissy Spacek fan.

The thing I like about acting is being able to lose yourself completely in someone else.
