I think the actresses who are really successful are comfortable in their own skins and still look human.

We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to.

I've had my breath taken away when a fan told me since watching my speech she has stopped herself being beaten up by her father. I've been stunned by the amount of men in my life that have contacted me since my speech to tell me to keep going, and that they want to make sure that their daughters will still be alive to see a world where women have power and equality, economically and politically.

We don't often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence.

Oh my God, no, no chance, no chance. That [kissing her co-stars]s not in my contract!

If I were in the director's chair, I would cast [Geena Davis] in something awesome every six months if I had the choice.

I'm aware that I'm kind of a paradox, and at times a bit ill-suited to my profession. But there's something that brings me back. There's something in me that feels like I have to do this, that this is what I'm meant to be doing. If I didn't feel this way, I wouldn't do it. But it's full of contradictions, for sure.
