I like bold directors. I like directors that go against the norm in a way.

I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.

Not to be too detailed, but I've had an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and I've had fertility treatments. I've done all the stuff you can possibly do to try get pregnant.

I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

I'd rather walk a tightrope than have my feet on the ground.

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

My path was to be an actor and it’s been very good to me in life. It’s broadened my horizons and given me a lot of gifts.
