I Want To Be The Best Daughter,

The Biggest Obstacle I've Had To Overcome Is Being A Woman In A Man's World.

I Have An Amazing Mother Who's A Real Tough Cookie. She Taught Me Not To Get Emotional About [sexism In Hollywood], Just Be Really Practical And Objective. Later, In The Privacy Of My Own Home, Maybe I'll Bawl Or Break Some Dishes, But You Just Have To Keep Going. It's Not About Fighting, It's About Educating.

I Want To Be The Best Daughter, Sister, Friend And Wife I Can Possibly Be - Because When I Die, I Am Not Going To Be Buried With My Oscar.

If There's Any Relevant Influence We May Have With An Investor, With A Studio, With A Director, With An Actor, I Think We Have To Fight.

I'm A Kid From New York, So Urban Life Reflected Into Art And Music Was Around Me And Accessible And Tangible.
