For me to get to work with a writer-director over time in developing a project - my investment feels much more profound. I know that whatever is on the other end I'm going to feel that much closer to.

Cate Blanchett is somebody who I could watch do anything. I love what an extraordinary chameleon she can be. There's something about the way she bends and transforms that feels otherworldly to me.

I grew up in the Bronx, but in Riverdale - not exactly an area of New York that's known for being rough and tumble.

I so never went through a bad-girl period.

You just have to learn how to fall down and get back up again. You just have to keep going.

I was an English major in college!

A day on a film set is maddening.
