You have a right to your opinion about the work that you're doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances.

A lot of actresses are doing incredible work right now, playing real women, complicated women. I don't feel despairing at all. And I'm more looking with hope for something fascinating.

I was thinking about how people were upset about the information that came out from Snowden about the NSA - many people were upset, including myself. But I was kind of surprised by how little we did about it - how little fighting we did.

I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

A big part of being an actress specifically is feeling entitled to your artistic opinion, feeling that it means something, and being able to stand by it.

You're not going to do good work if you're not choosing something because it inspires you.
