My favorite thing about movies is the ending and so all my favorite movies have really great endings.

It’s such a fun job, and it can be silly and light and about making people laugh. I think I was doing it a disservice by thinking it’s not something ultimately important. I always was saying, ‘I’m not saving lives; I’m not a brain surgeon.’ And that’s true—I’m not saving anyone from any life-threatening illnesses. But I get to tell stories, and that’s a pretty important task.

The only time I flip out is when I'm not prepared. If I'm caught off guard, I can't help it; I start gasping for air.

I do put on a little make-up every day because it helps me feel put together. Mascara is essential.

For me, the political part of being an actor is very tough. To sit somewhere and tell somebody why you should feel this way or that way about my character does not feel like my responsibility. It feels like the responsibility of the writer and the person who created it.

In Hollywood - and indeed, the world - a lot of women only think about themselves in the context of men. It's truly sad.

We're always too skinny, or too fat. Too tall, or too short. We're shaming each other, and we're shaming ourselves, and it sucks.
