I'm fundamentally a busy person; I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!

If you read reviews that you think by their very nature are not respectful of the actresses involved or not appreciating the work as it should be, I think you should write to reviewers or comment and say, "Are you kidding me?"

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.

Female ambition is such a complicated thing to play because it is an aggressive quality, and people respond very badly to women exhibiting any kind of aggression.

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 would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.

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