Every time you fail, you learn more.

I'm very much a hippie from Northern California.

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.

To stand together against homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic and racist agendas. I’m an optimist and I can’t help but feel hopeful about the future of film - especially looking at all the beautiful people in this room. Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.’ I would like to encourage everyone in this room to please speak up.

Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.

I take great responsibility in any character that I play.

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