Being a woman is a very powerful thing, I think, and you don't want to abuse that.

I never want to sell my soul for something I don't believe in. Because guess what? Somebody somewhere in the world would have believed in that part and should be playing it - who am I to not allow that person that opportunity?

I like to leave the movie theater and still be thinking about the film and questioning why the character did that.

It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

It's better not to read your reviews. Just go and do the thing... it would drive you crazy otherwise.

I'm not someone who doesn't want to see the films, but I like to see them as an end product when the whole nuance of the character is put together.

I've been really lucky to work with a lot of really great actors, so watching the films back, it's really important to admire the people that you were working with and see their full performance.
