There are some things you have to give up to the higher power.
Voters want conflicting things. They want a lot of government spending, but they don't want higher taxes.
My role is to just tell the highest degree of truth with every character and every story. From there, I have no clue whatsoever how things are going to turn out.
The French press can be very harsh, and the one thing they can't bear is multi-tasking. They despise it to the highest degree, so from the age of five I've been taught that if I did two things at the same time, it meant I didn't know how to do one. It's an obsession that they have.
I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows; I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It's noise I block out automatically. I love my body.

Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.
Anything that is worth doing has been done frequently. Things hitherto undone should be given, I suspect, a wide berth.
I hoard and buy loads of the same things over and over - DVDs, clothes, trainers.
One of my favorite things in the world is to be seeing two people that are really old, still holding hands, still kissing.
When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.
If I just retweet the nice things, it rings hollow after a while.
People love things about Hollywood. People love to see the inside of what's going on.
For centuries, Tamil Nadu is a holy land of many religious scholars and saints who preached good things.
I have known great things and wonderful persons, and I have known homage.
