My parents said marrying was an optimistic thing to do in pessimistic times.

I actually think the subject of young divorce is pretty funny; I'd like to write a movie about it.

Anything that becomes an obstacle in life is only an opportunity to learn and it's the same in any profession I think.

Beyond my desire to boycott the torture factories, I am also way happier when I eat a plant-based diet, and I feel about a thousand times more energetic.

It was so fascinating to be a part of this, because as the women took on these central roles that had all the good lines, therefore all the good laughs, all the great moments- the men, who had joined us to sit on stage, started squirming rather uncomfortably. And got really bored. Because they weren't used to being the supporting cast. It was fascinating to feel their discomfort, to discuss it with them afterwards when they said, 'It's boring to play the girl role.' And I said, 'Yeah. Yeah, ya think? Welcome to our world.'

Now I'm doing a film festival for kids and writing a script about a kidnapped journalist in Afghanistan.

People assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you're too old to play dumb.
