war equal-pay people
Some people are surprised that the Republicans are waging a war on women, or that they voted against equal pay for women. I'm not surprised at all. In some ways, it may be a good thing. They're defending the patriarchy, which is a wounded beast! And wounded beasts are always dangerous.
accept age birth educated girls longer money nation neither nor time waste
We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2,000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.
successful men long
My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.
soul musical acting
What's totally terrifying is that, unlike a musician who has a musical instrument, or a painter that's got a canvas and a brush, acting is us. Our energy, our soul, our spirits. And it's so hard because it's so vulnerable. You're exposing everything.
powerful talking soul
I found that you're more powerful when talking from your soul.
perfect good-enough enough
Good enough is good enough. We're not supposed to be perfect. We're supposed to be complete.
nice thinking years
I left acting for 15 years, and I think it's really nice to have another life. I took too much for granted when I was younger.
be-good
When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad. I sure identify with that.
older-women jokes
When you're an older woman [in a movie], you are the brunt of the joke.
ifs i-can
If I can change, anybody can change.
judgmental hard
I've worked really, really hard on myself to not be judgmental.
heart doors speak
Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?
writing scary up-to-you
Movies are collective, cooperative endeavours, which I like a lot. But writing is all up to you, it's what's so scary; it's just you and that page. But I really like it a lot.
names trying nuance
Mostly actors are progressive because we are accustomed to all the nuances of human life, whereas dictators just try to flatten it all out. So we usually try to stand up to dictators like, well, we won't mention names.
