I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.

Instant gratification is not soon enough.

If you have a brain, you are obliged to use it.

You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.

I do honestly think that if women were running the world there would be more investment in peace, because basically as women we do not want to see our children killed. Maybe I am completely idealistic, but until we see women in equal positions of power in the world, I just think that we are doomed.

There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
