Without my family, I would be nothing.

I do have some kind of gravitational pull towards young characters with more responsibility than they should have.

Acting, films, scripts, is literally the only thing I’m 100 percent confident in. I know what I’m doing. I just understand it, and I love it. When I’m on set, that’s when I feel the most at home and in control.

I've got five or six amazing friends that I trust and love, I know exactly who I am and don't care about anything else.

What does it say, 'I beat Meryl.'

Why would people have confidence in a female director when there are so few?

You can have children and love them with all your heart and soul, and love your family, and it's still OK to have a fire in you. That doesn't have anything to do with your family.
