So I decided to make a film about our need to tell stories, to own our stories, to understand them, and to have them heard.

Plus, doing a zombie movie is quite liberating. It's fun not to take myself seriously all the time.

My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.

I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.

It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.

Some of the funniest moments I've ever experienced have been in the midst of tragic situations in my life.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

There is no point trying to figure out who is guilty or not at un-balancing the planet. I think we need to figure out and solve the problems together and not isolate from each other.

You don't create or write to be successful

I only have two fingers left.I wrote the lies of my farewell with two fingers.That is the truth.We are evil.They are kids.We are evil.

Time is a treasure on earth.

True confession: The reason we don't talk about race is because we do not speak a common language.

Niagara ... is the first disappointment in the married life of many Americans who spend their honeymoon there.

Isolation serves as the ideal antidote to the bone-aching stresses of work.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

The Bible - the wisest document ever known in human existence, which defies the ravages of time and change because it contains the truth that cannot be changed or invalidated.

My whole life story is kind of a backhanded compliment.

I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'.
