I Went To A Catholic School But

My Very Best Friend Died In A Car Accident When I Was 16 Years Old. That Was The Hardest Blow Emotionally That I Have Ever Had To Endure. Suddenly, You Realize Tomorrow Might Not Come. Now I Live By The Motto, 'today Is What I Have.'

I Don't Want To Play Into The Perception That All Women Should Look Like Fourteen Year Old Boys. I Don't Want To Add To That Pressure For Young Girls. But In Hollywood, There Is A Constant Pressure To Look A Certain Way.

Injustice Can Never Be Stood For.

I've Made Movies That Were Adaptations And I've Been Kind Of Frustrated By The Process Because, You Know That Old Axiom, 'it's Never As Good As The Book'? It's Often True Because Nothing Competes With Your Own Imagination. When You're Reading A Book And You Imagine Something In Your Head, Nothing's Going To Compete With That.

One Of The Biggest Challenges In My Job Is Letting Go Of The Movie Once You Go Home At Night, And Knowing You Can't Do Anything To Your Performance Once You've Laid It On Film.
