“I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.”

The thing that’s wonderful about social media is that we are able to give a voice to the voiceless and to help educate each other. I benefit from it as much as I provide those lessons.

I have very high standards for every part of life – my work, my relationships, food, love. I can’t just pretend.

I love kids with a passion I usually reserve for hot cheese, miniature chairs, and Prince concerts, but I feel no stress to reproduce simply because of a fear of withering eggs.

This business is based on numbers, and the numbers show that it’s worth investing in female-driven and female-directed films.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

You realize when you’re pregnant how lucky you are to have access to medical care.

From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.

Obviously, local elections are where you can make the most difference, but it’s great when everyone starts talking about what they believe in.

But even if I’m left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

I’m pretty low-key; you’ll often find me in jeans, a T-shirt and sweatshirt.

In a relationship I’m a very loving person, emotional and sensitive.

I feel like fashion should not happen in the morning.

It’s so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.

It would be so depressing to be a model and not get to say a word. There’s no personality involved.

I’m a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette. I feel like people treat me now how I should be treated. People used to be shocked, when I was blond, that I wasn’t stupid.

The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.

I’ve always believed that a person is smart. It’s people that are stupid.

I don’t believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn’t, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.

When workers fall back on violence, they are lost. Oh, they might win some of their demands and might end a strike a little earlier, but they give up their imagination, their creativity, their will to work hard and to suffer for what they believe is right.

I’m an American for marriage equality. I believe that love comes in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. So whether you’re LGBT or straight, your love is valid, beautiful, and an incredible gift.

I believe that I definitely wasn’t given this voice just to sing. I think it was given to me for a bigger purpose.

If I could turn back time, I would tell myself that I’m beautiful every day, because we all are! And we need to start believing it!

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.
