My dad's a doctor, and when I was 8, I went to one of his medical conferences where they were demonstrating laser surgery on a chicken. I was so mad that a chicken had to die, I never ate meat again.

When a guy tells me I'm cute, it's not something desirable. Cute is more like what you want your pet to be.

If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.

There's so much else to do in the world. To just be interested in doing films would limit my life.

Sometimes it's better to forgive and forget. And sometimes, on the other hand, it's better to leave the friendship.

I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.

I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.
