Being a sex symbol has to do with an attitude, not looks. Most men think it's looks, most women know otherwise.

When I'm really hot, I can walk into a room and if a man doesn't look at me, he's probably gay.

I would certainly choose my jobs depending on the actions of the character. I won't do anything that has to do with child abuse or women's abuse.

Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't

I love the new technology in terms of giving access to doing more independent work. When I first started out, any film had to rent from Panavision and the expenses were humongous. Now, given the advances in technology, you can put out extraordinary quality filmmaking at nothing like the price it used to be.

It never occurred to me that I couldn't change things that needed changing or couldn't have what I wanted if I worked hard enough and was good enough

If my ego was out of whack and I believed I could carry anything off, that would be a stupid risk. But so far there's been no reason not to try anything.
