In my own life, I have noticed when I have been meeting directors, that the same sentence with the same inflection can be said by a man, like: "Get me this." But if the same thing is said by a woman, it's seen as harsh and unacceptable. That always fascinates me.

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

There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth.

The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.

I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.
