Even though it's still, annoyingly, something everybody feels the need to bring up to anybody who doesn't look like a model, there are more women now who are super successful and have different body types. You know, like men do. That feels like progress to me.

I always like [while filming] to have a sense of what led this person to this point.

I feel so lucky to have done so many things that I love in the past few years so I'm just going to keep trying to do them.

Honestly, I think if I had to stop acting I'd be like, 'Well, I guess I have to go live in the mountains now.' I'd probably be a good assistant.

I guess I've never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.

I love festivals because I feel like I'm more of a movie fan than a person who's in the film industry.

I feel so grateful when I see a movie and there's a woman who looks somewhat like me. I'm like, 'Thank you, Samantha Morton!' You know, a woman who feels like a human being. That means so much to me.
