I love everything. I love being the empathetic characters. I love being the villains. I think it's like when we're kids, we like to play all kinds of crazy characters and dress up.

The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.

Every time an Oscar is given out, an agent gets his wings.

You hope that the same people are coming back. I love playing with Angela [Bassett]. She's fierce. I met her years and years ago when she was a student at Yale, so to see her do these fierce roles and go on to [be] this powerhouse has just been awesome.

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.

I want to see women onscreen the way I see them in society.

A heart can only discover what it really wants with experience.
