I think there was the studio mentality for a long time that women and girls can relate to a male hero, but boys and men can't relate to a female hero.

I tried to avoid making plays or films that weren't telling a story that I felt was important. And what I discovered in the process is, it makes you more empathic because you have to enter someone else's reality and you learn to see through many other people's eyes.

There are actresses who build themselves, and then there are actresses who are built by others. I want to build myself.

Like backstage, I just peed like every 3 seconds. I think yur staff thinks I have diarrhea.

Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head.

I’m a big believer in accepting yourself the way you are and not really worrying about it.

People treating you differently, when you don't feel any different, is really alienating.
