What I know in my heart is that women and girls on the ground are powerful and that they are leaders.

I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days.

I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

I guess because I pay so much attention to the physical part of the character, I don't look upon it as like Charlize Theron up there. I don't think of them as like Charlize Theron films.

I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking.

When a person lives a very happy life they become beautiful.

I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
