There's nothing stronger than a woman protecting her child

I don't know why anyone does the job without that pressure.

When I was a kid, you went and saw movies. You knew very little about the actor's personal life except what would be, like, in Photoplay or something. We didn't hear "The Making of..." every single movie, and actors didn't have to put this tremendous piece of work that they'd done into a sound bite.

I have some friends who are actors. I've watched them work. And I would say that of all the arts, acting is the most grueling, thankless. Never apologize for your work.

I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who don't get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive.

I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself.

Sometimes your characters in films do things that you wouldn't do. You're not playing yourself all the time.
