Most of the women I spoke to were pushing agendas that they felt connected to - more so than with the male lobbyists I met with.

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

I don't really drink, and I've never been to a rave. I used to cut school to read Shakespeare, not to make out in the park.

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

There is this immediate connection, this intimacy when you're acting because there's no room to be polite or shy. Also, as an actor I get to connect with women I've never met before.

I've spent my life being embarrassed.

I just want to do what I feel is right in my heart.
