What I look for in a guy is passion and ambition and there's nothing sexier than intellect, so hopefully that would be reciprocated.

Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles.

We didn't have a backyard, so as I child, I would turn the coffee table into a stage and put on shows. But it was just a fun thing to do; I never thought about it as a profession. That started as a fluke; my mother had a friend who was an artist with a theater company, and I started going there after school because my mom knew I'd be safe.

I actually have this fantasy of giving up my cell phone.

I am not a fan of rats or pigeons. In New York City, they have become very confident. When I was a child, you went on the subways, and the rats would stay down on the tracks, but now they hang out on the platform.

I was in the video for Cyndi Lauper's 'Sally's Pigeons' when I first started acting.
