“I hope that having my life and having an education will lengthen my career.”

If you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, even if it makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen.

The reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or for me to be nearly a hundred before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work.

Girls should never be afraid to be smart.

Don’t be ashamed if you don’t like what others pretend to love.

I can be 100 years old but I will always be proud to say I was in Harry Potter.

I’ve always been like that; I give 100 percent. I can’t do it any other way.

Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue too.

If not me, who? If not now, when?

Sex & World Peace shows us how gender inequality is a form of violence that impacts everything from population growth to economies to regime type.

Violence against women and girls is one of the most serious human rights issues.

It’s important to read because it’s really good for your vocabulary.

Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life.

I’m the worst liar ever.

Books are a friend, books are an escape, books are a means to empowerment and books are a means to understanding yourself better and in a world around you. They are everything.

Gender equality can only become a reality if we harness the transformative power of solidarity across professions and across borders.

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

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

I’m very much focused on my career.

If you’re not still learning and growing as an actor, then you have no backbone and no career.

Listen, if my career was to end tomorrow, I would have no complaints whatsoever.

What I do now is all my dad’s fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.

Right now we have an economy in trouble, and someone who spent their career in the economy is more suited to help fix the economy than someone who spent his life in politics and as a community organizer.

I hope to be around past the 90’s. I don’t want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.

It’s your career, your face, your name. You have to be in control because if something gets messed up or something doesn’t look how you want it to, you’re the only one to blame.
