If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that's what you hope.

The thing that's so exciting when you're making a film is that it can be anything and there are no limitations on it.

I think we just knew that we had a movie when Rachel walked in the room.

I've been doing this since I was 12... I don't want to act much longer; I can't do one thing my whole life.

You have to question a cinematic culture that preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex. It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self.

All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.

I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you're playing.
