I see many more men who are feminist, or at least who have learned about life in the context of feminism.

Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?

I found that you're more powerful when talking from your soul.

Don't give up. There are lessons to be learned even in the most horrendous pain. And you don't know that when you're young.

I left acting for 15 years, and I think it's really nice to have another life. I took too much for granted when I was younger. I didn't really want to be an actor. I didn't really love it. And so I made a lot of mistakes. Oddly, I care much more about it now. I feel like a complete novice.

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.

Every woman should eat for the long run so she can manage the short stops of crisis.
