I don't think male characters are as one-dimensional as female characters.

It's partly because our culture so hyper-sexualizes females that if you don't measure up to whatever we're forced to think is the standard, then you feel inadequate.

My scripts are always filled with notes. I like to just analyze everything from the point of view of the whole picture, of the movie, my whole picture.

I really only did theater in school in college. I did summer stock a couple of times in the summer, and plays that the school put on. But I knew I wanted to be in movies.

I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.

I always want a challenge. My whole career has been based on trying to avoid female characters that don't get to do anything. And it's really hard to avoid those.

One thing is a fairly simple and straightforward thing. I don't long to direct. I really want to get some good parts.
