I don't want people to look at me.
People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.
Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.
Broadway has always been a dream of mine.
I like things where I can do a physical transformation, and I love accents and voices, and I'm never going to play the same character twice.
Robin Williams was the kind of generous person who would do things but not want to receive public credit for it.
Any man that dates me, the thing they're gonna have to live up is my dad - he's a real hero.
I love talking about acting. I'm just such a fan of actors and filmmakers, and I try to choose roles where I get to talk to great actors about acting and learn.
I absolutely made the decision that that cannot be the reason why I'm doing a film or a job. For me, it's always about the script and whether I'm doing something that I've never done before.
When you're on a Terrence Malick film, it's like you're part of a family.
Look at Hispanic women - they are being paid 42 cents on the dollar - or African-American women. I think it's an issue we have to look at across the board.
I no longer think in terms of, Ooh, this is a great role and what is it going to do for - actually, I've never really thought about what something is going to do for my career.
No matter what the characters you play, you have to find the differences in them, especially when you are doing a political movie.
Everything that we criticize young actresses for, they're supposed to do because that's when we're supposed to make mistakes. And find out who we are.
I spent a lot of the last five years on a set, and every once in a while you take stock of your life and look at what you're doing.
One comment by a female lobbyist really shocked me. She said, "Washington is a contact sport." I asked, "What do you mean by that?" And she just said, "Well, it's all men - and they're very contact-y. They touch a lot." Women say that's just part of the game.
Maybe that's because there are so few women lobbyists; if they're there, it's for something they strongly believe in, not just for financial gain.
Most of the women I spoke to were pushing agendas that they felt connected to - more so than with the male lobbyists I met with.
We need to reevaluate that women who ask for a pay raise or ask for a promotion - it's actually an okay thing.
I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.
I take great responsibility in any character that I play.
I can't even open my eyes underwater.
I was excited that my films would finally see the light of day and people would see them. But I never imagined that such nice things would be said about a lot of my films.
No one ever recognizes me.
I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
