The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women.
To actually feel like you’ve done something good with your life and you’re useful to others is what I was always wanting, and was always looking for.
A Single journey can change the course of a life.
What’s risky is living your life and never trying for anything and never doing something brave and never getting yourself scared.
I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well, but is intensely rewarding. Particularly the chance to help draw out the best in young actors.
I don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws.
I wish I could find people who just would fight me and break through to me and hold me down and scream their life into my face.
Save one-third, live on one-third, and give away one-third.
Just start off with the same goals in mind. If you have the same values, same goals then you’ll be on track for the same future.

I like the feeling of being dominated.
First thing in the morning, we’re really tired, and we look at each other and we wonder, ‘Are we ever going to get sleep?’ And yet, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get sleep. It’s an honor to take care of them.

There doesn’t need to be a God for me. There’s something in people that’s spiritual, that’s godlike. I don’t feel like doing things just because people say things, but I also don’t really know if it’s better to just not believe in anything, either.
Anything that feels good couldn’t possibly be bad.
I’d like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don’t have misconceptions – they understand. I believe that.
