I try not to fake anything.

I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.

It's okay to be ambitious, it's okay to be over-prepared.

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.

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 didn't understand how much senators and members of the House are not able to represent the people because they're too busy fundraising to maintain their seat in office. I hope we as a country start looking at how we can change that.

Broadway has always been a dream of mine.
