I love women. I worship women. Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.
I'm a fan of the fan. I'm a fan of the active devotee who lives his life believing in something, who represents to me the character of a person that is very confident and sure of himself. Those are people I admire.
What doesn't feel okay to me, what feels a little bit out of balance, is when you want to turn yourself into something else - when you want to be another person.
I am hoping for a long career.
I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
I do believe in us as actors and directors and writers and producers and also as movie-goers. We have much more power than we believe we have. Without our ticket, studios can't make traditional decisions.
I love the anxiety, the pressure of the loud room full of yapping kids. But I'm a kid myself.
I like to look strong and commanding.
I've witnessed racism all my life. And of course there's racism and discrimination in Hollywood. You go for a part and they say, 'Oh, we really liked her, she's amazing, but we wanted to go with something more traditional'. As if I'm not a traditional American!
Let's start creating better roles that accurately depict people we know so closely.
I love skin. I don't believe the body is something to hide.
There are a lot of magazines that are still sort of... that only cater to a certain demographic and only put certain people on their covers.
I love aging. Why would I want to be 21 for the rest of my life?
Basically, there's not enough sex in movies, that's it. I'm trying to say it, people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural, guns are not.
