Hillary Clinton wants to push for equal pay and for paid family leave and for better and cheaper childcare.

I campaigned for Hillary Clinton when she was in the primaries against [Barack] Obama, actually.

I think people who aren't in film experience that when they hear their voice on an answering machine or something.

Hillary Clinton is incredibly prepared and smart on all of the issues.

I think Hillary Clinton understands the ins and outs of the White House better than anyone who's come before her.

I'm really good at mini-golf. You know, maybe not big person golf, but little person golf.

With the young generation, there are even more women than men making movies right now.

Even my life's not normal because I'm acting, right?

I honestly don't even really want to think about it [if Donald Trump wins]; I'd rather focus on how wonderful Hillary Clinton is.

I read every biography [of Jackie Kennedy] I could get my hands on.

Hillary Clinton is such a formidable candidate.

Hillary Clinton wants to extend the Obamacare rule that healthcare companies cannot discriminate against women and charge them more than men for their healthcare. [Donald] Trump wants to get rid of Obamacare.

It's so much unwanted interest in your privacy that you don't want to invite anymore.

The best thing you can hope for, when you make a movie and you put your soul into it, is that people respond to it well.

[Donald] Trump wants to punish women for getting abortions and defund Planned Parenthood.

Even [Donald Trump] presence was bullying, was lurking, and was just mainly creepy.

I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.

But I love you I'm totally and completely in love with you and I don't care if you think it's too late. I'm telling you anyway.

I'm not really much of a genre guy. I think that audiences don't need that anymore where you just need a very specific genre. Audiences are very sophisticated, and as long as it's fun, it's okay and entertaining.

My response was that more than half of Israelis are of Sephardic origin. Many of these Jews come from Arab lands and share the same physical skin color.

As someone who was born in Israel, you're put in a position of defending Israel because you know how much is at stake.

I'd like it if people thought I was Jewish looking.

It's a big honour to have people be excited about a movie that you make. That's the one thing that you want.

Girls have girl/guy relationships because we are expected to be so emotional and sensitive and stuff, and sometimes you just don't feel like being that way.

Your relationship with your husband should be an important part of your private life, but publicly you should be able to define yourself.

I just stay away from the news and try and find people around me who are doing positive things and look to them.

I don't think I've ever been in love, I'm sure I will be some day. I've had enormous crushes, although I've never been into the Brad Pitt thing.

I think the New York Public Library is so, so amazing. It's literally the coolest place - It's good shelter from the sun and it's the most beautiful building. It's really, really fun.

I think losing a child is unimaginable. It's every person's worst nightmare. It's unimaginably difficult. It shakes your faith in the world. It tests your optimism.

I think the press is doing a wonderful job of putting the pressure on the decision-makers in Hollywood to support more female directors.

'Star Wars' hasn't changed my life at all.

I'm just upset that we've been distracted by so much noise and vulgarity when we could be trying to talk about how our country can get stronger.

Social networking is playing a huge role in creating awareness and mobilizing support for all kinds of common interests. What better way to use this remarkable tool than to change the world?

I'm not a perfectionist but I'm definitely, or well, I like discipline. I'm obedient. I'm not a perfectionist.

Guys have guy/girl relationships so that they can have their own guy thing plus the sensitive thing with the girl.

I do think there is a sort of natural balance in nature between men and women, and that it's being thrown off-balance by the social and economic inequities between men and women.

I don't want to sound superficial, but when I go see a movie myself, I'd rather look at Tom Cruise than some shmo with a beer belly

I had danced when I was younger, until I was about 12, and I always idealized it, as most young girls do, as the most beautiful art. It's an expression without words.

We have so much separation between feeling the emotional and physical side of sex.

I am more a teenager than anyone else I know. One minute I feel really adult and the next minute I say, 'Let's play hide-and-seek.'

I don't want to be a celebrity who's trying to like say, «look at this charity work I'm doing».

I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years.

And then there is Cate Blanchett. She is different all the time.

I really want to get the word out to people to register because of course, the more people vote, the more our democracy works.

One of the most exiting things about being pregnant is that I just am accepting the complete unknown; it's a complete mystery and miracle.

People are just funny sometimes if you find the right character.

I've wanted to be an astronaut, a doctor, a vet - these are things I've said in interviews. Before that, I wanted to be a mermaid and a fairy.

I think mainly it's an optics thing: to be able to visualize a woman in a position of power. It's going to be wonderful for all of us in every field.

I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.

The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.
