Every actor has to find space where they are free, in order to do good work.

I studied English literature; I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn't a religion major really.

To get people emotionally involved in something intellectual and political is important.

I have a couple of girlfriends who are like healing. We take care of each other. They know when I need to be taken care of.

I feel so gratified about having finished college. I learned how to articulate myself. It gave me confidence more than anything. And also the ability to analyze the text.

Being a mother has absolutely forced me. You have to write things down and have systems for all of it. And then you set up systems and you realize they don't work.

Honestly, I'm always aware of the political implications of the movies that I make.
