real feminist vulnerable
A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with.
school character people
I studied psychology in school, and the best psychology is in literature. It's so much easier to understand a character than a theory. You can recognize yourself—or other people—in a different way.
husband thinking people
I think Hillary Clinton has made great strides in doing so, even though there are people who want to bring us back to the '50s and still define a woman by her husband and her husband's legacy. But she has proven herself to be a force on her own and is an example to us of how women should and can be judged on their own merits.
please-me want answers
I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.
people world want
I'm very interested in people who seem very negative and nasty and to go inside their world and see why they get that way. It makes you a little more sympathetic to them, even though I really don't want to be around those people.
husband lucky enough
The fact that [Hillary Clinton] is pushing for paid family leave and also for [affordable] childcare will make a huge difference for working women who aren't as lucky as I am to be able to hire a nanny when I work. And who aren't lucky enough to necessarily have their husbands be able to take off work. That will make a huge, huge difference.
people ifs
I'd like it if people thought I was Jewish looking.
fun thinking long
I'm not really much of a genre guy. I think that audiences don't need that anymore where you just need a very specific genre. Audiences are very sophisticated, and as long as it's fun, it's okay and entertaining.
people want excited
It's a big honour to have people be excited about a movie that you make. That's the one thing that you want.
character people sometimes
People are just funny sometimes if you find the right character.
hate holocaust scripts
I've always tried to stay away from playing Jews. I get like 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I hate the genre.
dad doctors mad
My dad's a doctor, and when I was 8, I went to one of his medical conferences where they were demonstrating laser surgery on a chicken. I was so mad that a chicken had to die, I never ate meat again.
sex decision age
It's horrible to be a sex object at any age, but at least when you're an adult you can make the decision if you want to degrade yourself.
thinking president gender
I think it's about having a competent president, and I don't really think gender has to do with how Hillary Clinton will lead.
