My alter egos have changed a lot over the years. When I was a child, I was a black horse called Storm. Whinnying and jumping over bamboo poles in the garden took up pretty much my entire childhood.

Nowadays, most women just assume they have a right to be in the workplace, and any kind of discrimination they suffer is sort of more creeping.

I love '30 Rock.' Absolutely love it. It's a game-changing show.

I don't really want to do things that I feel like are going to send out a message that I don't really want to sign up for.

I think it is kind of important to direct someone so the character is appealing, but, as an actress, I find it frustrating because I think, "Why do I have to be more likable than a man would have to be saying the same line?"

I'd actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can't be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could.

You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
