I was very aware when I went to the Academy Awards that it would probably be my first and last time. So I thought my input should really be about fertility, and I thought I'd bring some eggs.

I'm going to prove the impossible really exists

I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace.

I learned what a lot of women have to do is make the guys in the room think it was their idea, and then you back them up.

I want to support young girls who are in their 20s now and tell them: You're not just imagining things. It's tough. Everything that a guy says once, you have to say five times. Girls now are also faced with different problems. I've been guilty of one thing: After being the only girl in bands for 10 years, I learned - the hard way - that if I was going to get my ideas through, I was going to have to pretend that they - men - had the ideas.

I am a grateful grapefruit.

It's invisible, what women do. It's not rewarded as much.
