Kids are the best part of my day. I don't wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family.

You're an actress! It's not about your ideas! You're there to tell other people's stories.

Exploring female rage on film doesn't frighten me - it might frighten a lot of people in my business, but, gosh, I know a lot about that, from personal experience and friends' experiences.

That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.

Women want to see the truth. They don't want to see some perfect girl.

The joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the role; it's just like another prop.

I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody.
