In real life I'm not the one who's playing with guns or smoking.

I've always tried to stay away from playing Jews. I get like 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I hate the genre.

While [Domald] Trump chose a running mate, [Mike] Pence, who wrote [a letter to an Indianapolis newspaper] about how women shouldn't work because it's bad for the family. So we're really facing such a stark contrast between the candidates. Not to mention the vulgarity that Trump has been spouting about women for his entire life and continues to throughout his campaign. It's just a different world that we'd be living in [if he won].

I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.

It's horrible to be a sex object at any age, but at least when you're an adult you can make the decision if you want to degrade yourself.

As I get older, I'm more relaxed and less concerned with what people think of me

The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.
