I don't really send text messages. I rarely carry my phone. I occasionally check messages at the end of the night, but I don't carry it around.

When I was growing up I never babysat. I was considered to 'punk rock' to be trusted with kids.

I have to concentrate on my son. That's why I have lovers right now and not a boyfriend. I don't want my son to start calling somebody Daddy unless that person's gonna stay.

I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.

I wonder why guys mistreat and disrespect girls. But then they expect life to hand them a good woman when they're older and ready to settle down?

The mind wants to forget because it weighs so much on the heart and soul. I am tired of crying and feeling so helpless. I want to breathe again -just for a little while.

Progress is slow, it is uneven, it is fragile and in some parts of the world it is being erased.
