If you have a movie coming out, and people are talking about you, the amount of scripts will build.

What I consider a good part for a woman and what some other Hollywood people think are good women's parts are very different. I don't want to play the supportive girlfriend who has nine scenes and just loves that man, maybe cheats on him in one scene but will always be there, and I mean - give me a break.

I grew up with a tribe of amazing women, but certainly my mother and my godmother really modeled women as actors.

There are a lot more female writers wanting to direct their own material and hopefully will be given the opportunity.

The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals.

I love just being in Canberra and being with my family, being with my friends.

The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me.

It wasn't that the teachers were bad. From what I can remember, they were pretty good. It was about the selection of books. It was about not seeing my young life reflected back to me: my family dynamics, the noise and complexities of my neighborhood, the things I loved, like ice cream trucks and Kool-Aid.
