Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.
Happiness, that's obviously different for everybody, but what I call my joy, the thing that makes me feel incredibly satiated, is my family, and then I get to go and play out all of my ideas and feelings through all these different characters.
Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it's a beautiful life.
People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?
Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.
I dig my heels in every now and then, and think 'I'm not going to do what's expected or what people think is the right thing.' So I have a little bit of that in my personality.
And I am standing in front of my mother, and my whole life I have wanted to make my mother proud. And now I'm going to make my daughter proud.
My path was to be an actor and it’s been very good to me in life. It’s broadened my horizons and given me a lot of gifts.
As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.
Not to be too detailed, but I've had an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and I've had fertility treatments. I've done all the stuff you can possibly do to try get pregnant.
The more you love, the more you crave.
If you enter the dark side of life, and come through it, you emerge with more strength and passion.
I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.
That sort of detailed filmmaking is one, hard to do and not have it be pretentious, and two, have it tell the story, which is what you're taught, that cinema is the language of images and you really should be able to make a film with no dialogue and tell a story.
