You want to take some responsibility for you choices so that it sets the groundwork for that next generation of actresses.

I'm trying to find a man to share my life with, but it's not been easy. I'm a 35-year-old woman with two small children.

I dig my heels in every now and then, and think 'I'm not going to do what's expected or what people think is the right thing.' So I have a little bit of that in my personality.

You'll nip anybody who's coming at you with bullshit. You don't play around. You take this craft very seriously. It's what separates you, what separates an actor from an artist.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don't think you ever abandon any of them.

I think we do need radicals. We need extremists, because that's how change happens.

You have to love, without judgment, every actor that you're working with to make beauty.
