Q In your book you describe an audition where you were asked to act like Meg Ryan when she fakes an orgasm in a deli in When Harry Met Sally. And how you almost didn't get the role of Skylar in Good Will Hunting because of Harvey Weinstein's comments that you weren't sexy enough. Do you think the industry has changed since then?
A_I think the #MeToo movement changed things, in as much as there are now mechanisms in place in my industry that help protect people who are experiencing abusive behavior of any kind. Because of those mechanisms, there is now a level of accountability that exists within the system. I still feel like there is fear about speaking up as a woman, though. And that enough of Hollywood was forged in the crucible of "There's 1000 other girls who wouldn't complain about what you're complaining about, that speaking up can still feel like a woman might be marked because of it.
You went on to be nominated for an Oscar for the role of Skylar. How did Harvey's comment affect your confidence as a young actress?
