I never save things and I never take pictures. I wanna live in the moment. I don't wanna be focusing on the past.

If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.

Apart from my children, spending time with refugees was the greatest gift... the greatest life lesson I could ever receive.

I'm able to be very effective because I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican. So, I'm not tied, and I'd never want to be tied to anything, to some constituency that I would have to answer to.

If you become aware of a public self, you're in danger of becoming a very artificial person.

You know, more children die under the age of five when the parents are not educated.

I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action... It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options. Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.
