I get quite disappointed that we're still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they're saying about women.

If you're going to make great art, you have to make it at a huge cost - you have to be prepared to sacrifice what other people think of you, other people's opinions, and you have to make personal sacrifices.

I don't really want to play parts that I think are not fully developed or fleshed out, especially with female roles.

I want people to think I'm sexy, but to know also that I've got an ordinary body and not feel intimidated.

I think with the best actors, emotion is something that has no kind of check in them.

I'm not interested in going to see films that massively overrepresent men over women. It's lik,e how much more have we got to say about this? Like men in war and dealing with their masculinity in conflict. I just think we've exhausted the landscape.

I really like films and plays that cross over different genres. So I'd like to do something that you think is a drama and then you think is a supernatural thing and then becomes a drama again. That's very vague.

I think it's very repressive for a woman to be constantly told that she has to make films about women to better represent women, but then the reverse is not found.
