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.

I take great responsibility in any character that I play.

I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.

I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.

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

Everything that we criticize young actresses for, they're supposed to do because that's when we're supposed to make mistakes. And find out who we are.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.
