I find that the monsters are usually the people that I have the most empathy for because they're the ones that are hurt the most. There's a reason why they're the monsters.

For me, I'm not in an industry where I'm starving. I'm so lucky to have this job, I'm compensated for my work in an incredible way. But what I do ask is when I join a production I want to make sure that the male actor isn't making four times my salary, which has been true, or seven times my salary. And if that's true you go, you know what, I don't need this job. It's not really asking for more - it's asking for something that is respectable and equal to the male actor and you have to go, why are women being valued less?

I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

Robin Williams was the kind of generous person who would do things but not want to receive public credit for it.

Most of the women I spoke to were pushing agendas that they felt connected to - more so than with the male lobbyists I met with.
