I've worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together.

I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. It made me think, "Gee, I don't know if I ever want to do this again." And I love theater. I love going. I love the experience of theater. But I am not sure it's for me.

It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me.

There are lots of futurists that spend their whole life trying to figure out who we're going to be in 40, 50, 60, 100 years. That's the great thing about science fiction.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

I guess I've played a lot of victims, but that's what a lot of the history of women is about.
