"I actually don't even know what a movie star is now – what is a movie star?" she asks in the Hollywood Reporter.

"When the best female part of the year is Claire Danes in Homeland, you know the game's changed. Maybe in the '50's, there was a far more particular idea for a movie star. But now that's all blurry – everything's more fluid," she says.
