“I’m reading so much and exposing myself to so many new ideas. It almost feels like the chemistry and the structure of my brain is changing so rapidly sometimes.”

I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion: that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.

It’s not the absence of fear. It’s overcoming it. Sometimes you’ve got to blast through and have faith.

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like, I promise.

What gets scary is when your self-worth is tied up in what strangers think of you.

As a child I grew up with a school curriculum that totally glossed over British colonialism and British slavery.

Together we can spread our message and support strong people of all genders.

I really want to write a novel. I also want to learn to play the mandolin.

Rape is not just a physical, violent act perpetrated against one victim, it is an assault on humanity.

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.

You will never change anything that you are willing to tolerate.

Be respected as being new, and probably a decent change or a help for the human race or whatever, instead of keep carrying the same old burdens around with you.

I don’t know what happens to me on stage. Something else seems to take over.

Music changes, and I’m gonna change right along with it.

I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don’t take it too seriously.

We all know the leopard can’t change his stripes.

The moral imperative to make big changes is inescapable…that what we take for granted may not be here for our children

Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change.
