My most annoying question is "Hilary, are you ever going to play a pretty girl?"

I never know what my next thing is going to be, and I'm not out there specifically searching for one thing in particular. I'm just looking for something that's new and different. It could be a drama or a comedy, I just want to challenge myself and work with people that inspire me.

My job is about playing people. And I think once you lose touch with people, what do you play?

I believe that the definition of luck is when preparation meets with opportunity.

I stopped trying to chase the perfect place to be, and realized the perfect place is with your loved ones and your closest friends, around the dinner table, over a good meal, talking about the past year and the year to come and things that you want to change in your life. You hear their stories and talk about things you'd like to see happen in the world. That's what we do.

Few people know this about me, but I love baking pies.

As a producer, you really have - you're able to hand-pick all the talent that you want to be surrounded with.
