We haven't evolved a hero story that's female. We're always trying to fit women's stories into this male structure, which is this rising action, this powerful conflict, and this falling action. And I think a female hero story is not that. It's something else.

My family was always wondering why I ended up playing people who were mentally ill, insane, downtrodden, and a little crazy. I think what they don't understand is that most female parts are written basically as hysterical women.

I've never felt terribly attached to acting because I always feel like the world is really big and really interesting, and there are a lot of places that I can put my energy and be fulfilled.

The women I know are smart, interesting people who aren't just there to service the men's stories, so I don't know why our art continues to do that.

Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.

I think that people are going to think of me however they want to think of me, whether it's female or gay or cancer or funny or unfunny.

I don't need to practise. The only thing I need to do is build up my match fitness.

America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system.
