I guess in society there's no place for women in their older thirties. We're supposed to go sit on a shelf at some point... and wait.

I hope to be on the scene for a long time. I'd love to be old and gray and still be working in this [horror] genre.

I feel like Travis [Stevens] is just a Midas touch producer. Seemingly everything he touches turns to gold lately, so that was quite exciting looking at that prospect.

I watch the energy between the actors. That's the most thrilling and interesting thing to me about watching a movie, what the actors are doing.

Everybody can justify their actions. We all think that we're doing things for reasons that are meaningful to us. Maybe not to other people, but to us.

As I've matured, the roles are a bit more layered and representative of where I am today as an older person with more responsibilities, perspective and hopefully not too many regrets.

The people I love the most in the film industry are the writers. And I think they're the people who are most vulnerable and are really open to new ideas. They're the originators, the creators.

When I work with filmmakers today, I'm really an advocate for the women's roles that I see, to make them as layered and as deep as possible. I think many of them are underwritten.

When I work on a piece I always think if there is an abundance of male characters which one could we change to a woman or a minority character.

I love reading scripts and offering notes and opinions. I'd like to be an advocate for the emerging filmmakers whom I'm working with.

Superhero roles seem to be popular. I'd like to see more female superheroes. How about a grandmother superhero? I'd pay good money to see that.

Hearts shall dance once again

Rage wrapped itself around her like a tourniquet, keeping her alive even as it condemned a part of her to atrophy.

I don't know if you call a burger 'recession food.' It's comfort food.

Lord save us, first you have a heart, now you have a god? Will wonders never cease?

People always loved best what they identified most with.

To get where you want to go, you first have to become who God wants you to be.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Grandmother belongs to the generation of women who were satisfied to have men retain their vices, if they removed their hats.

The understanding of fear cures fear.
