I liked that idea. Someone who's trying to perform herself and not succeeding.

I don't think there are that many parts I could say unequivocally "I would not play that," but there's lots of parts I read and I think, "I don't really want to do that. I don't really think that's how women act."

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

I said to Ramona [my daughter] once ... you should never look yourself up on the Internet. It's something I've learned.

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

I find myself more and more interested only in roles which move the world forward.

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.
