If someone puts up $100 million on a movie, they're gonna be concerned about whether they'll get it back. So they're not gonna make a movie about three girls, you know?

Cannes is a very strange place. I tried to show up as best I could and to try not to be cynical.

As a woman, a lot of stories haven't been told and we've got a lot of catching up to do.

When it's working, what acting is really about is getting into the essence of a moment in a creative, joyous way - through whatever frees you up.

I haven't gotten stuck with something because I just keep going, and I keep doing different things.

I guess the characters I play may be at the more destructive edge of the spectrum, more damaged or whatever, but I find a lot of female roles uninteresting.

I tried to do the commercial thing. But I don't want to keep shoving Twinkies down everyone's throat. People are hungry for something of more substance.
