When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn't like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing

Success is not important to me, nor are power or money. If the script feels good, then I'm in. It's that simple.

My mom brought me up to be a feminist. She would always point out to my brother and me that our culture does often portray women like objects...

The term 'popular culture' always used to mean what the people do - pop songs, folk songs, music in general used to live because people would sing these songs and tell these stories together. Then all of these new technologies came out and it became the work of professionals.

As soon as you are trying to be funny or dramatic, that's when things start feeling fake and boring.
