You always want your films to go as far as they can.

I know from my own experience that great films and great actors can have a really big influence on you. There is a place for art in the world, and if you're lucky enough to be good at something and to keep being given work, it's not such a bad thing.

I love acting but I also love writing, especially comedy.

I do worry about young people in the business who have experienced a lot of success and are punted around doing those manic publicity trails, when you don't really know who you are yet.

I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.

You can't be a woman and not be a feminist, I don't think. If you care about the world and the world you exist in and your rights.

My feet are like something from another age - prehistoric and troll-like. I keep expecting them to talk, they have that much character.
