“Now I’m doing a film festival for kids and writing a script about a kidnapped journalist in Afghanistan.”

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.

You realize when you’re pregnant how lucky you are to have access to medical care.

From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.

Obviously, local elections are where you can make the most difference, but it’s great when everyone starts talking about what they believe in.

But even if I’m left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

I’m pretty low-key; you’ll often find me in jeans, a T-shirt and sweatshirt.

In a relationship I’m a very loving person, emotional and sensitive.
