For Me, The Dumbest Rule

Very Few Interviews Are A Conversation. It's Usually A Question And I Have To Answer For Two Minutes. By The End Of The Day, I Kind Of Feel Gross. It's Like You Go To Dinner With A Friend And Then You Get Home And You're Like: "ugh, I Dominated That Conversation Too Much. I Wish I Let Them Talk More." That's How It Feels For Me Every Day I Do Press.

I Have Always Been Really Picky About The Films That I Make, Because I Think That There's Such An Incredible Opportunity To Bring Up Questions When You're Making Movies, And Some Of My Favorite Films Bring Up Big Questions. They Are Movies That, When You Walk Away From It, It Hits You As Something Deeper, And It's A Great, Fun Way To Be Able To Bounce Around Some Of These Harder Concepts In Our Heads.

We Need To Have Points Of View From Lots Of Different Types Of People. People Who Have Different Backgrounds, Different Parts Of The World, Who Maybe Perceive Gender Differently. We're In This Time Where We Have Social Media, We Have The Ability To Share So Much, That I Think That We Need To Create More Space And More Opportunity For People That Are Just Outside Of The Typical Cliched Binary Roles.

For Me, I Believe That Just Seeing Women Be Strong And Tough Is Not Answering The Question Of What A Female Hero Looks Like. Women Have Their Own Set Of Skills That Are Worth Exploring And Seeing On Screen.

Sometimes You Pick Up On The Myth And It's Just An Accident. I Think It Comes Naturally Out Of People, And Some People Are Aware Of It.
