People who run environmental groups and things like that, who have to listen to all kinds of nonsense and keep their tempers, are very diplomatic and very inclusive.
Writers write these male stereotypes, and it makes it ten times more interesting if a woman says the lines.
I wanted to play a mother again. I thought it would be interesting to play the mother of an older child. And it was also the kind of part I've been looking for my whole career, actually, in film. You know, just to play a femme fatale who's very smart, and wicked.
It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.
I feel self-doubt whether I'm doing something hard or easy.
I actually think the reason I am interested in certain parts is because I was such a dweeb in high school. When you are such a loser, it's a helpful way in to a lot of characters because even very powerful people are not all that powerful, really.
Every role sort of teaches you how to prepare for it.
We need to do a better job of keeping oceans healthy.
