I think we all have a tendency to feel like, "Well, what can I do? I can't influence the government or politics in my country."

If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

Why am I doing the work I'm doing? Why am I friends with this person? Am I living the best life I possibly can? Questions are often looked upon as questions of doubt but I don't see it that way at all. I question things to stay present, to make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

I suppose the longer anyone spends on earth, the closer we all get to becoming superfluous characters.

I don't blame the people for the fact that so many movies are bad. I think there's a corrupt, perverted, lazy and sloppy attitude that's pervasive in the movie business. The whole entertainment business is kind of crumbling around us.

There's a long, long history of women suffering abuse, injustice, and not having the same opportunities as men, and I think that's been very detrimental to the human race as a whole.
