“I think my confidence has developed over the years in terms of the speed at which I will reveal how collaborative I want to be.”

You really just have to love the process. I can’t tell you the amount of film sets I’ve been on where people are talking about Oscars in the middle of the production. It happens all the time.

Weakness is something we don’t like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.

Power tends to get confused with repression.

I am so saddened and grossed out by young women who look like creepy, old aliens because of their new Barbie noses and lips. Is that a smile or a grimace?

I think that women are more sensitive to emotional infidelity than men. I think men are more scared of physical infidelity.

I actually think the subject of young divorce is pretty funny; I’d like to write a movie about it.

There are so many young women in film school right now, and it’s just about foreign sales companies, domestic sales companies agreeing to finance films directed by and starring women.

I feel like the luckiest person on the planet. ‘Tron’ was such a departure for me.

At one point I thought changing my name might help with privacy, but that was before the Internet.

All actors should experience public failure.

The thing that’s wonderful about social media is that we are able to give a voice to the voiceless and to help educate each other. I benefit from it as much as I provide those lessons.

I have very high standards for every part of life – my work, my relationships, food, love. I can’t just pretend.

I love kids with a passion I usually reserve for hot cheese, miniature chairs, and Prince concerts, but I feel no stress to reproduce simply because of a fear of withering eggs.

This business is based on numbers, and the numbers show that it’s worth investing in female-driven and female-directed films.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

It’s not a question of if we make the playoffs; we will. And when we get there, I have no fear of anyone.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.

I’m just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores. It’s just there. It’s something I don’t have to turn on.

If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.

Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.

And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!
