Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.

I did a couple of plays in junior high school, maybe high school, and then I did a play in college.

I didn't work very much when they were young, and I had the luxury to be able to do that. Most people can't.

Caitriona Balfe, who is Irish, is also in my movie. I asked her to play her Irish accent in the movie, but her own brogue is so faint that I had to keep pumping it up.

Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

I conducted a bunch of interviews for Interview magazine. They actually paid me. I think I was probably 18 or 19. I was in college and I remember feeling, like, "Wow." I had a real job, and they paid me money, and it was exciting.

I aspire to be able to appreciate and review a director based on their accomplishments and based on who they are and what they bring to the material, regardless of their gender.
