I love that ["Big Little Lies"] is about women coming together and making something happen very quickly, with friendship being the core of it.

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

It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that's very difficult, really difficult and very brave.

Having your work be the basis of fame, that's a far more stable feeling.

I am very shy - really shy - I even had a stutter as a kid, which I slowly got over, but I still regress into that shyness. So I don't like walking into a crowded restaurant by myself; I don't like going to a party by myself.

Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.

I don't really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.
