Parts that are desexed, matronly - to just put me in a couple of scenes and have me be the older, you know, dead character, is not gonna fly with me.

The odds of having films made which star women... Everyone still references one movie: 'Bridesmaids!'

There are still so many movies made starring 50 men and one woman! A white male actor should never be allowed to complain about anything. Shut up and sit in the corner. I mean, seriously!

When I was younger, of course I had people act inappropriately to me. I've had certain directors yell at me. But I didn't stand for it, and I didn't let it go far enough for it to be in any way abusive to me.

These archetypal older women in movies can sometimes make my skin crawl. It's about the one dimension; it's about the lack of any texture.

Being married and having a child was not something I wanted, and I knew that at a very young age. I tend to be more solitary, and I'm truly a free spirit.

The majority of work I do is in independent films, where you’re lucky if you have five takes.

I’m obsessed. I’ve always needed to know what’s going on but now it’s a must.

I don’t like a lot of rehearsing.

I’m really a director’s actor. I rely heavily on a director.
