I Think That Anybody That Smiles Automatically

I'm Fascinated By How Hollywood Has Changed Since I Started. Today It's About Immediate Delivery. There's Less Risk And Less Art.

I Think A Lot Of The Time, The Studio System Is So Compelled To Kowtow To Its Fear That Women Are Not Going To Be Found Sympathetic. It Just Sort Of Euthanizes Any Hope Of More Diverse Examples Of The Emotional Realities Of People. Representing My Gender, I Think, "well, I Have Those Emotions, Why Don't Those Ever Get Brought To The Screen So I Can Feel Recognized?"

Americans Have An Interesting Conundrum, A Black And White Line: You're On One Side Or The Other Of Puritanism Or Licentiousness. But That Gray Area Where People Abide, Between Their Ears Or On The Internet, Needs To Be Fleshed Out More In Terms Of Permission Granted. I Think A Lot Of Women Are Contained Within The Parentheses Of Shoulds And Role-play. It's All About Entitlement And History. It's All About Upper-body Strength - And Exacting Your Will.

But I Do Love Horses. They Are Such An Expression Of Joy.

What Happens Between Action And Cut For Me Is A Blur, I Go Almost Into A Whiteout, And Then I See The Film And I'm Like, "oh That's What I Did? Cool!"
