I'm always in this shape, that shape, whatever shape you like the most. I am always in various stages of shapes. If the woman needs to be more soft I'll gain weight and then I'll lose weight for another film that I did where I wanted her to be more wiry. I enjoy using my body as something that helps me get to a character.

I was able to say to everyone, 'Would you be willing to take a role that you've cherished and worked on for a long time and change it to female?' And there was not any hesitation, which was a real win. That hopefully shows a shift in the climate for women in film, although we still have some climbing to do.

It's just too much if you make your career everything. It is everything when you're doing it. But you have to find things you love just as much.

My head is filled with so much crap, or facts that I find important, but that some others don't.

I will make myself sick on films, just because you want everything to be right. I can't sleep if something hasn't been done or is out of place.

I realised that conforming didn't accomplish anything. Do your own thing. As long as you learn that, you're cool.

Makeup is scary. When I do it myself, it's just mascara, and sometimes I forget even to do that.
