You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn't expect. You have to follow.

Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.

I am proud and embarrassed by how incredibly self-confident I was in my late teens and early 20s. I know that there were other things going on, too, but I had an overwhelming belief in myself. Like I said, I'm embarrassed by it and proud of it.

So often you're asked to play impossibly perfect version of yourself on screen that it's nice to get to bring in those parts that you think aren't as worth looking at.

I just don't care that much about how famous I am. I care a lot about our world, and whether our planet will survive. It seems really low-stakes how many Twitter followers I have, in the grand scheme of things. In 80 years, who will care?

On a personal level, just for me in my own work, I would say the most interesting thing has been getting to work with the people that I've worked with.

I've definitely gotten to work with female directors, and I feel lucky because of that. I just feel like more voices should be represented.
