I never like to get political, but when you have the ability, through your media, to influence a large mass of people, I would want to be a part of the evolving cycle of progress vs. keeping things the way that they are.

I do believe in us as actors and directors and writers and producers and also as movie-goers. We have much more power than we believe we have. Without our ticket, studios can't make traditional decisions.

I find it really frustrating when people go, "I want to be famous and glamorous like you."

I like to look strong and commanding.

A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time.

I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.

I want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles.
