“Being passionate is not what makes you a girl, it’s what makes you a human.”

It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments, and in our workplaces.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I’ll never please everyone.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.

I keep telling myself that I’m a human being, an imperfect human being who’s not made to look like a doll.

I like books that aren’t just lovely but that have memories in themselves.

I’ll be proud to say my country is committed to preventing violence against women.

The less you reveal, the more people can wonder.

Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. It’s often not cool to be the person who puts themselves out there.

I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

Black Lives Matter and women’s voices are a vital part of any movement for change.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s really just to stop trying to find answers and certainties.

Believe in yourself and go for it.

Women share this planet 50/50 and they are underrepresented, their potential astonishingly untapped.

The stairs of our industry must be accessible to all. Let’s climb.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

To find out a girl’s faults, praise her to her girlfriends.

To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, it’s society who’s ugly.

If you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model.

Damn, cold world. I never thought I’d see the day that you’re my old girl.

Happy girls are the prettiest girls.

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

A boy spends his time finding a girl to sleep with. A real man spends his time looking for the one worth waking up to.
