Not to sound on a pedestal about women, but the reality is, we bring a completely different element to it just because we are women,

we were concerned we were going to sound too broad, and maybe get laughs in the wrong way. We tried to fine-tune it a little, staying kind of neutral. Part of the transformation in any character is a new way of speaking. Also the physical look. Once again I worked with Toni G, who did my makeup for 'Monster.'

I'm happy for people who want to get married. It's not my thing.

I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.

Whether it’s a real person or not, is irrelevant, ... The human condition is the same.

because thanks to women like her, I get to work and live in a very safe environment. I respect women who come from harsher landscapes, where survival is much harder than in cities, because they don't wallow in self-pity. They have to survive, so they get up and move on.
