Everything I did growing up was with that as the real goal - doing Broadway; doing theatre. That was always the big thrill for me.

I often think a play gets better and better as you hit a stride because you really find new things. One of the great privileges of doing theater is you get so many at-bats - you get to try it eight times a week and every audience is different, everyday is different.

I think women should support each other's work, encourage each other's work, help develop each other's voices and I think, ultimately, when we can stop having the conversation about 'women filmmakers', and just talk about 'filmmakers', then we'll know we've really gotten somewhere.

I guess what I learned about myself is I'm a bit of a socialist; I want everyone on the set to get equal treatment and credit.

I think we all learn by doing rather than thinking about doing.

As an actor on sets, Ive always clocked how hard the crew works, how much longer their days are, how much lesser their glory is - and the fact that their commitment to the work and project is unwavering, no matter the budget.

I've seen so many people in my life struggle tremendously to fit into those boxes or to live up to those expectations or pressures put upon them by whatever society's concept of 'normal' is. I get frustrated by rules and regulations. I'm frustrated by things that are exclusive to one particular life choice.
