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.

I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.

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.

I've spent my life being embarrassed.

I've actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I'm carrying no baggage. They haven't seen me in anything, even though I've done nine films.

I was excited that my films would finally see the light of day and people would see them. But I never imagined that such nice things would be said about a lot of my films.
