I really like directors who give you a certain amount of autonomy because I think a lot about my characters and I think a lot about scenes and choices.

You have people who know you are competent enough to do your job and then you have the ones that just hover around.

If we learn to understand each other, we will have a better understanding of ourselves.

You want to be a part of something that is going to change history or make history or be bigger than yourself.

As women, we're always in negotiation with how we're being perceived versus how we feel.

I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career.

I think the mark of a good director is that they surround themselves with good people.

It's mostly directors whom I get starstruck around.
