There's a rhythm to script [ in "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore"], as well, especially the pacing of it. But there definitely were times when I would say something and [ Macon Blair] would say, "I didn't think to deliver it like that" or, "I didn't think it had that meaning." And he'd say, "I like it. I think it's good." So he's open. He's not battering it into you.

I talked with [ Blair Macon] a lot. I always like to come up with it - sometimes the filmmaker is not into it at all.

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

I feel like I'm always put with someone who's like, "Come on! Please be happy!".

I've done a gazillion readings that have gone on to be movies that are made without me.

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.
