Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.

I get quite disappointed that we're still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they're saying about women.

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 love science fiction. I read a lot of science fiction.

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

I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.

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