I know I'm flawed - but perfect is boring anyway! Flawed is good!

Every movie that I do, I always try and better myself in the next one and try and find a part which is more challenging. It's a little vulnerable to do that, to always push the envelope. You position yourself for a lot more flack or a lot more critique because you're trying to do something different. Sometimes you're good at it and sometimes you're not, but it's a chance you have to take to make life exciting.

The great thing about cinema is that it's a great binder. It brings people from across the world together, often erasing the lines between geographies, languages, familiarity, and the like. Cinema is art and art, they say, is a reflection of life and society, so the way we tell our stories is the main differentiator for me.

It's so stupid, so archaic to say that men are so stupid they'd give anything for sex, and women are...that that's the only resort we have.

I'm not usually a follower of trends - I like to set them a lot more. I don't like things that people have done already, then it's no fun for me to do it.

I have photo shoots or commercials that I do, or things in India. It's usually a seven-day week for me. So physically it does get exhausting.

I hope and look forward to the day that there will be a female president of the United States.
