“I think that I was ahead of the #MeToo movement by almost a decade,” she said.

“I was always speaking out against some of the abusive, misogynistic, patriarchal things that were going on in Hollywood back in 2008 and 2009, way before people were ready to embrace that or tolerate it. And I actually got ridiculed for doing it. I think people just have had time to review that, in retrospect,” she continued.

“I’ve never felt completely included in the feminist community and I do still think that it’s tricky in an awful way…whatever I provoke in them is not something that they can digest very well. And so that comes back on me, as they reject me for those reasons. And I just don’t think that I was a very sympathetic victim.”

She also said she has no regrets about speaking out.

“The regret I have is that my personality is so lost on people, my sense of humor is lost. My intelligence is not acknowledged. And so that is a regret. Sometimes I feel like I just waste my energy, giving myself to people who don’t understand and won’t appreciate [me], but I’ve never had anything where I look back now and think, ‘I really shouldn’t have said that.’ Even the terrible things caused me to do so much work on myself, that I grew exponentially, because of it.”

She also cleared up some rumors about her relationship.
