I think most human beings, even if you're in a situation that's constricting or complicated or hard, they try to survive.

Ten years ago, it was really difficult for a young actress to walk onto a set and disagree with the director and having that be OK and have a conversation about it and everyone be cool with it.

I think Secretary's funny, it is about sex, and there's a lot of sex in it, sex is the key, but you're talking about a lot of other complicated things.

I do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive.

I remember people saying, "Believe me, everything in your life is going to change..." And I thought, "Why? That's such a bourgeois way of thinking." And then you have a child and yes, everything changes. It affects the way we live, what we do, and where we go - everything. And I wouldn't have in any other way.

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

Having an education is invaluable.
