I think you have to take the whole idea of wage equality out of the film industry.

No matter what the characters you play, you have to find the differences in them, especially when you are doing a political movie.

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

I spent a lot of the last five years on a set, and every once in a while you take stock of your life and look at what you're doing.

I don’t mind if the character is a small character, but I would just like her to have a journey in the film. Sometimes the characters are just there as a prop to further the man’s story. The great directors I’ve talked to, I’ve said listen, I don’t mind playing a woman that is a tiny part, but how does the story affect her? What can I play in the end that’s different from the beginning? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense, because it’s just like being a prop.

I have a feeling that very soon I'm going to fail very, very big. I'm going to try something and everybody's going to be like, 'What was she thinking?

Maybe that's because there are so few women lobbyists; if they're there, it's for something they strongly believe in, not just for financial gain.
