I've been accused of being too flexible, too willing to mold myself to men, and that's something I'm constantly working on.

Consistency can be a trap, especially if it leads to being consistently wrong rather than to stopping, admitting your mistake, and changing course.

As I started getting older, I realized, 'I'm so happy!' I didn't expect this! I wasn't happy when I was young.

It's hard for women at my age in Hollywood, but I'm not discouraged.

I knew that my newfound activism and feminism was going to improve my acting, because I was seeing things not just in very narrow, individual, kind of Freudian terms, but seeing them in a much broader, societal way that was going to deepen and enrich my talent.

I am not a do-gooder. I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman.

Who am I? I'm a survivor. I'm a woman with tremendous inner resources and resilience. I care about people. I believe in 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,' and I live by that. I am becoming authentic, and that's important to me. I have surpassed both my parents in terms of emotional stability, happiness and well-being. And I'm a lucky woman. I've deserved my luck.
