Now younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions with their agents and be able to say, Can we make sure that I'm being paid the right amount for the work that I'm doing?
Felicity Jones
I always had a very strong sense of independence. I really liked being able to buy my Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill album. I wore that as a badge of honor. I love not having to rely on anyone.
Felicity Jones
Going to auditions is always so nerve-wracking. I don't think they ever get any easier.
Felicity Jones
I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.
Felicity Jones

Felicity Jones
Women want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.
Felicity Jones
