Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

I am actually very in touch with all of my emotions, from joy to pain, and I am free with them.

'Beloved.' That's an amazing film and I'm sorry more people didn't see it when it came out.

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

I watched Westerns from the time I was a girl. My dad was a big Western fan. I always loved Clint Eastwood movies and Westworld, where the guy gets trapped in a western-themed amusement park. The western motif was fascinating to me.

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.
