She was open to a return to mainstream Hollywood productions, but suggested it was unlikely.

‘If the unforgivable sin in Hollywood is being a person who wouldn’t perfectly conform at a time when emotions were running wild in the world, then that’s probably not a Hollywood I’ll ever belong to,’ she said.
