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

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.

We must do the work that justice and equality calls us to do.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

Don’t worry. You’re just as sane as I am.
