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.

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

I want people to like me. They don't have to always like my characters, you understand

I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me

I have a brother who's a psychologist. He says three-quarters of the world are born feeling that they will be affected by the world; one quarter are born knowing that they will affect the world

When someone is kissing you passionately, you feel passionate!

The best role is always ahead.
