[As a producer] [Big Little Lies] is the stories of women that I know, and it was a way in which we could go to other women and say, "Here's a great role. There's five great roles here. They're all complicated. They all deserve to be told, and are you interested?" And that is rare.

I kept looking for happiness, and then I realized: This is it. It's a moment, and it comes, and it goes, and it'll come back again. I yearn for things, but at the same time I'm just peaceful.

Someone has to die in order that the rest of should value life more. It's contrast.

I want to be tested beyond my comfort zone. I don't want to be safe if it is more interesting to be dangerous.

I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that.

I don't believe in having body doubles for a film.

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.
