My father has a general rule. He says if I haven't done it in real life I shouldn't do it on-screen.

Awards are so unnecessary because I think we get so much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself.

I love being a mum, but it's much more intensive work than being an actress - going to work feels like you've got a day off. Not that I want a day off from being a mum; it's just perhaps I had this impression before that mums don't work. But they work more than anyone.

A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with.

I'm always on the phone because I'm usually not with the people I want to be with.

I'm going to college. I don't care if it ruins my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star.
