I binge-watched this show Damages. Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are so good. Lily Tomlin is in it. You see all these great actors and the writing is terrific. There are a lot of shows like that. And there are all these conversations right now about roles for women and being paid equally and all of that, but I think what it really is, is opportunity.

I remember realizing, when I did Little Women [1994], that that was the only time girls that age were being written about. It was always boys - from David Copperfield to Lord of the Flies to Holden Caulfield. There were never young women going through adolescence or teen years; there were only little girls.

I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.

I think it's really important to have a life outside of this [movie] business and just be the best person you can be.

One of my friends committed suicide when I was in high school, and it's the most tragic thing anybody can go through.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.

In America, I don't know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we're in danger.
