I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.

You think you're being broken but you're really being broken open...and that's where the healing happens, in those broken places...if you'll allow it.

When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad. I sure identify with that.

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

I finally got it: empower girls and everything changes.

Think about it: Reducing crime and poverty and ensuring that we have an educated, stable work force has a direct effect on you and me and the future of our country.
