I don't even notice the advertisement that comes up on my screen. I'm a smart person and it's just something I've just blacked out because it doesn't seem right to me.

I don't feel that way now. I don't want to make movies for the 10 people who feel exactly the same way about the world that I do. I want to make movies that many, many people see, and I want to say something that I believe is important in a way that people who don't agree with me can hear. And that involves making different kinds of choices, but it's not like a compromise that I'm making. It's that something else interests me, something else is appealing to me.

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

I would like to do a big movie that many, many people see but I just know I would be miserable if it didn't have something to it.

Someone who's 26, 27, has a very different relationship to sex than someone who's 30.

I feel there is no shortage of real interesting women's roles. But I found them and did all of them just now.

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.
