I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.

Every character has their reasons - even the characters who do dumb things.

It's important for a director to provide as much information, especially when we're working with things that we have to conceive out of thin air. You can't just expect an actor to understand: 'Oh, there's a dinosaur coming at you". OK, so I'm going to automatically know how big it is and what it sounds like? I need details. How close does he get to me? How tall is he? What will the impact be of his cry when he's screaming at me or when he's blowing smoke or air in my face?

The biggest battle that I have is being a woman in the world. That takes center stage for me.

I'm a very feminine person, but I have this hard shell, man, and I stay focused and don't take things personally.

Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin.

I don't like things like little sandals that look fragile. I like to look strong and commanding.
