When you know psychologically what [characters] are feeling, then that plays out on how you dress a lot of times.

I always say, when I work with younger actresses, "I'm here." Reese says it, too: "We've lived it. We know things. So if there's anything you want to know." I'm careful not to be the preacher, like, "Now, listen to me!" But I do want to be available. Even in terms of things like finances - where do you learn that, if you don't have people you can ask, "Hey, can I ask you a question?"

Regrets are ridiculous, so I don’t regret, no.

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.

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.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

Sometimes as an actor you're struggling to make things work. That was never the case for me with [Big Little Lies script]. It just kind of flowed out.
