I've realized that being happy is a choice.

What's risky is living your life and never trying for anything and never doing something brave and never getting yourself scared.

There is no shame in being a survivor of sexual violence. The shame is on the aggressor.

I had a lovely experience once in Africa working with the U.N. when a president of a country met me about refugee issues and said ‘What do you do?’ I said ‘I‘m an actor.’ He replied ‘I heard that was a very difficult job and might not be the smartest job to do.’ It was lovely.

I am working for a better United Nations. Nothing is perfect. You should never rely on only one source, but rather rely on those you believe in the most.

I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn't as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.

I think it is funny that we were freer about sexuality in the 4th century B.C. It is a little disconcerting.
