No matter what, I'm going to ask for more.

I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.

Every time an actress is celebrated for her great work, I cheer. For the more brilliant their performance, the more the audience demands stories about women... And as we all know: a great year for women in film, is just a great year for film.

We need to reevaluate that women who ask for a pay raise or ask for a promotion - it's actually an okay thing.

People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.

Someone doesn't think immediately, "I want to be a lobbyist."

There is this immediate connection, this intimacy when you're acting because there's no room to be polite or shy. Also, as an actor I get to connect with women I've never met before.
