At the beginning, my ambition was never to break down doors. It was just to earn tuition for myself and work in an industry where women hadn't been allowed or invited. That's all I wanted to do, not thinking that I would make waves, change minds, excite people, incite people, turn on people, repulse people.

I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.

I really hate to see abusive behavior being passed on from generation to generation to generation, when we have access to health and counseling.

Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.

I don't want to be an actress, because I think that they have to be really pretty, and I'm not.

I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.

The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
