I don't blame the people for the fact that so many movies are bad. I think there's a corrupt, perverted, lazy and sloppy attitude that's pervasive in the movie business. The whole entertainment business is kind of crumbling around us.
I just love to act. It's my favorite thing to do in the world, and what keeps it interesting, to me, is the creative challenge. So, different kinds of characters, that's what I just love to do.
I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely!
I suppose the longer anyone spends on earth, the closer we all get to becoming superfluous characters.

A lot of people, most people who are working, they do it for money. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. It so happens that I made a lot of money already, so I don't have to worry that much about it. I wouldn't fault anybody for doing it for the money, but it doesn't interest me right now.
Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.
That you can be whatever you want to be, whoever you want to be, regardless of your gender.
Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.
When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn't like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing
My mom brought me up to be a feminist. She would always point out to my brother and me that our culture does often portray women like objects.
