Sometimes acting and politics make a very bad combination. I think that sometimes people take me less seriously in my work for the UN because I am an actor.

I've started to really become aware of the world we live in, what's really going on.

I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.

First thing in the morning, we're really tired, and we look at each other and we wonder, 'Are we ever going to get sleep?' And yet, it doesn't matter if you don't get sleep. It's an honor to take care of them.

People will always say all sorts of stuff. Let them. I'm enjoying my life

But we survived, and we're a good family. I just don't want to dedicate one more tear, or watch my mother cry one more time.

I'm very careful with my emotions, and I don't let them run free. If I'm upset, it's usually for a very good, very deep reason.
