What brings people down is the same thing over and over.

A l lot of films I've done are essentially about women who are finding their voice, women who don't know themselves well.

Women are socialized to be nice, to be docile. I call it 'shrink to fit': Shrink yourself to fit what others expect of you.

I heard that chivalry was dead, but I think it's just got a bad flue.

I don't think we realise just how fast we go until you stop for a minute and realise just how loud and how hectic your life is, and how easily distracted you can get.

And the insidious thing is that people will either see a movie because it did well last weekend or won't see it because it didn't do well.

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man, it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.
