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

Violence against women is still treated as a lesser crime. Armed groups turn it into a weapon of choice because of near total impunity.

Don't fit in, don't sit still, don't ever try to be less than what you are...

I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn't complain when we consider all of the people who are really struggling, who don't have the financial means, who don't have the support, and so many people are single raising children - that's hard.

Acting is not pretending or lying. It's finding a side of yourself that's the character and ignoring your other sides. And there's a side of me that wonders what's wrong with being completely honest.

It's hard no to work, so I find a way to put myself back to work. And I think it's important, in between projects, for me to sit down with who I've just become and allow her to continue to evolve and find a home inside me before I go and become somebody else. But I think I also need to learn to relax and not prepare too much, just enjoy life. I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but I spend so much time on their lives, I don't have much of a personal life of my own. I have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.

It's just person after person in every different country that has a life that I can’t even imagine and has gone through horror that I can’t even imagine.
