You didn't have to work to keep your fear up, your energy up, or your anxiety. It is all kind of built into the process.

If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.

I think we reserve a special place in our hearts for women who dare to try and be powerful, or occupy a special elevated place in society or when they are 'the bosses'. I think we really don't like it as a society and we have a harsh view of them. We look much harder at them, than the millions of men who aspire to the same positions and I can't figure that out.

I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.

What led me to that was I have never - I mean, I watch movies and I don't care who is the protagonist. I feel what that guy is feeling. You know, if it's Tom Cruise leaping over a building - I want to make it, you know? And I'm going to - yes, I made it. And yeah, so I get that.

All that attention to the perfect lighting, the perfect this, the perfect that, I find terribly annoying.

When your kids come home, they don't necessarily want to talk to you. They just want to know you're standing there, ready to talk.
