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

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 like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.

I don't want to torture anything. It's about trying to live a life where I'm not contributing to the cruelty in the world... While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here.

It's a fact, the majority of films in Hollywood are from the male perspective. And the female characters, very rarely do they get to speak to another female character in a movie, and when they do it's usually about a guy, not anything else. So they're very male-centric, Hollywood films, in general. So I think it's incredible that Ned Benson, when I said I'd love to know where she goes, says okay, I'm going to write another film from the female perspective.

When something happens, I always check myself and know it's going to go away. So be prepared for it. This is a tough business for actors who are sensitive. If you try to hold on to things, you'll go crazy.

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