It’s much simpler to be tortured on camera or to be filmed losing your mind. Whereas a script that has characters who are honest, witty and genuine is often much harder to act.

Sometimes I see movies and I get almost angry – because I’m like, I can never make that movie. It stems from a jealousy, but from a good kind of jealousy. It’s inspirational.

The relationships I’ve had with my girl friends are so powerful and meaningful. Without them I truly don’t know what I’d do.

I’m a huge Sissy Spacek fan.

I just don’t think I’m special because I’m an actor and I never would. Of course I take what I do seriously because I love doing it, and I love being in films and making films, but I don’t take myself seriously.

I really hope that we’ll have a sustainable future on this planet, I really do. So I probably geek out mostly about learning more about how potentially we can hopefully make that happen, hopefully we’re not too far lost.

I’m not used to being in front of a camera as myself. I’m not used to watching myself as myself.

Now, I try not to read gossip as a rule. But the other day, a website ran an article with a picture of me wearing sweatpants on the way to the gym. And the writer asked, ‘Why does this petite beauty insist on dressing like a massive man?’ Because I like to be comfortable.

To be in a position, at my age, where I am financially independent, I can help develop things, I can promote stuff that I believe in, I can say no a lot and spend time writing – that is a gift.

I’ve become really interested in permaculture, simplifying my life and doing everything I can to develop more of a sustainable lifestyle.
