I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after.

I can't believe when you write something from within, how many people relate to it.

In real life, my son had a little injury a couple of years ago where we had moved into a new house and he put his hand through a glass window and it cut him really badly. Thank god he had surgery and repaired everything, but I remember I felt frozen I was so scared, and then I realized I was holding my hand just because his hand was hurt.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."

Marriage can be complicated.

I'm so respectful of good writing. It's the blueprint for the movie. You have to have that script there because, if you don't, you're going to have problems. It's very important. It's also a gut instinct.

I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.
