The director's very important to me, particularly when the director has a recognizable style.

I try to attach myself to people who really inspire me, and directors who are really passionate. That way, I can give myself more fully and trust the impulse behind why the film is being made, and I can be a little more irresponsible in finding out what the character is.

The truth is, if you're around long enough, you have a story about everyone. But it's best to keep your mouth shut sometimes.

I pride myself on being fairly polite on a set so it's kind of a guilty pleasure to poke others on the set.

Sometimes I think women are lucky because they can develop in ways men can't. The old-boy network may be oppressive to women, but it actually stunts men in terms of personal growth.

I'm one of those people who when I go over a bridge, I want to jump. It's just this intense tickle in the back of my throat. It's like I'm on the verge the whole time I'm walking over that bridge, and I'm not going to get a release until I jump.

Sometimes you're wrong, but if I'm a repeat customer, it means I must have valued the past experiences.
