You can be a woman in charge of a production and still be generous and kind and insightful and decisive without being considered a butch in any way.

I think the hardest thing about the part is the responsibility that you feel playing something that is so real and resonant in our times.

I think in real life most of us don't know how to communicate our deepest feelings very well.
