Women's rights are more important than their ethnic rights.

Many people have a profession or a job - most people do, I should think. And they do it. And that's what I did.

I never write about a place I don't know.

I don't think the world is a particularly pleasant place.

There are so few movies that still cast on chemistry. Now it's often, like, this person's movies make this amount of money, and this person's movie makes that amount of money, so let's put them together.

The money has always been wasted on me. I don't care for beautiful things, funnily enough. I am my father's daughter.

Ultraconservatism is, to me, so illogical. Everywhere you go, conservatives want to cut, cut, cut, cut - cut money for powerless people. So, that's the biggest problem I have with them.
