I think that cynicism can often be mistaken for wisdom.

I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.

I feel like we want women to be simpler, less complex, so we project a lot of versions of simplicity onto them to fit that.

I'm never sure what's coming next, but I'm an open minded person and I welcome any challenge.

I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.

It's hard to give up that amount of control. It's scary to make yourself that vulnerable. Because you might do all kinds of things that are unplanned or are unexpected that maybe don't work, and you have to trust the director to see that and work around those things. I find it really scary.

Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.
