Perfectionism is really a challenge for me, and it causes me to be super-critical of myself in so many ways: about body image constantly; about parenting; about being a mother.

If someone is genuine, compassionate and kind, that is a turn-on. A sense of humor is a huge turn on, and that goes hand in hand with intelligence.

I feel very grateful that I have never had to be or ever chosen to be or accidentally found myself to be in the space of the other woman.

I think that we are so challenged as women to be everything and do everything and make it look easy.

I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

Only a good actor has an edge over a weak actor. A hardworking actor has an edge over a lazy actor. Nationality has nothing to do with it.

My favorite films left the camera rest, and the actors and characters have a stage to act. Move the camera when it's motivating.
