If you are an actress in L.A., on your 40th birthday they should just hand you the keys to the lunatic asylum.

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 think with the best actors, emotion is something that has no kind of check in them.

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 wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.

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.

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