If not me- who?, If not now- when?

Girls should never be afraid to be smart

If I've learned anything, it's really just to stop trying to find answers and certainties.

I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

Harry Potter's like Santa Clause: something you can't see but wish was real so badly that you end up believing in it.

We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to.

Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it's a process. It's often not cool to be the person who puts themselves out there.

There's nothing interesting about looking perfect.

Believe in yourself and go for it

Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else pretends to love.

Young girls are told you have to be the delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be the warrior.

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like. I promise.

IT IS TIME THAT WE ALL SEE GENDER AS A SPECTRUM INSTEAD OF TWO SETS OF OPPOSING IDEALS.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I'll never please everyone.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.

I didn't really want to act. Gerard Depardieu discovered me when I was 14 and asked if I wanted to make movies and I said, 'Why not?

When I was shooting with Tarantino and Mike Mills and amazing directors, it made me think that I would never be a director. It's obviously too hard.

I'm not a crazy old cat lady!

I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.
