I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

It's not like I set out to be 'the indie guy.'

I know I'm not the 'Indie It Girl' and I'll never have a big breakout, big runaway success. And that's okay.

I didn't know box office was a thing you could possess but I don't have it. I go up for lovely roles and people with this nebulous thing called box office get them so there isn't much I can do about that unless you know where I can get some box-office myself!

I wouldn't define myself as the girl from 'Pulp Fiction.'

I don't want to become a brand and I certainly don't want to have a persona.

I don't want to be the Hollywood girl... I'm Southern and old-fashioned.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

Box office is one of the strongest tools we have toward preserving our ability to make our movies. We really can make a difference by purchasing a ticket each opening weekend to a movie made by a woman, even if you don't like the movie or the filmmaker and even if you don't see the film.

I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films.
