Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies.

I can't get hired in a studio movie. Everything is so uphill.

I do know that I have to work hard for every single thing that I get, really hard, and that's okay.

I've always been able to let stuff go when I'm done with work.

Also everyone's hearts are in the right place when you do a small movie. You're not doing it for the money; you're not doing it for the possibility of an Oscar nomination. You are doing it because you love the material.

It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role.

I think it's important to do great work.
