Films that I want to do are few and far between.

Women and girls are bearing the brunt of extremists that revel in treating them barbarically. This is inextricably linked to our overall failure to prevent and end conflicts worldwide, which is causing human suffering on an unprecedented level.

We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we're able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.

I always work with refugees and I think they are the most amazing people and it's a privilege to spend time with them, so I will always.

And I didn't know what that meant for a long time. It was only when I began to travel and look and live beyond my home that I understand my responsibility to others.

On the superficiality of the industry: We are setting an example of what we think is beautiful and you really want to put that much make up on me?

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.
