I don't have a goal but I just want to work on movies that I really like.

There's no doubt that there's a struggling in birth, and a beauty and a horror and fear and joy too.

The good news is that we have a very active part of America that wants some radical progress.

The United States has more women and girls in prison than any other industrialized nation on earth.

Women have more rights, and women do have their own power in the world.

There are so many issues that impact women. When we talk about prison reform, for example, women were [once] sterilized in women's prisons. When they were giving birth, they were asked to sign paperwork but they weren't even completely conscious of what they were signing. That sounds like something that would never happen in America, but it was happening, not just in America, but in [California], one of the most progressive states in the United States.

I definitely isolate, but I also always have people in front of me, and I have to be OK with that. I'm in a business where, on the set, you're around two hundred people every day, and if you're high on the call sheet, you sort of set the tone for the set. And you want people to feel appreciated, and you want to ask them how their kids are. You want to talk to people and invest in them and let them know that they're appreciated and heard. But then I do like to just kind of withdraw.
