I find that with some girls, the words work and education have gotten a bad rap.

I'm simply the mom who makes the lunch, drives to school, finds where the toys are, washes the clothes, and I'm here to play. And that's all I should be.

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.

My goal now is to remember every place I've been, only do things I love, and not say yes when I don't mean it.

If a studio sees that a female can bring in audiences, then they're going to make movies with that person.

Anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned.

I am a lover like no lover has ever loved before!
