Women are responsible for creating their own roles

I don't think I'm anything like the improviser. I'm not. I do better with at least an outline.

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene

What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that

The roles that I am attracted to are women who try to do something about their lives, and not a woman who waits for some circumstance or man to come rescue her. I have no interest in that.

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

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.
