On keeping her personal life private:
"I need to keep my life very separate. I live and love and make decisions from a very comfortable and removed place. That's how it works for me."

On relationships:
"You deserve more than somebody who's nice to you. I think that so often these days, niceness seems like it should be enough because it seems like such a rare quality, but when you get inside of it, you think, 'Hmm.. I can be pretty nice to myself. What about these other things?' Life is too short and too crappy to not try to get more of what you want."

On her new movie:
"I thought about [Take This Waltz] as a coming of age story. Not in the pubescent way, but a girl on the verge of becoming a woman, that transition that you make in your late 20s or early 30s. She's yet to experience a great kind of sadness. And I think that's the thing that kind of plants her into adulthood."
