It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates.

Babies aren't really born of their parents. They are born of every kind word, loving gesture, hope, and dream their parents ever had.

How lucky we are that we love each other so much that we burst into three pieces.

Something that's such a joy in my life every day - cooking - is this incredible, horrific danger to women around the world.

My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when, as soon as you've finished cooking breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, it's time to start lunch, and by the time you've done that, you're doing dinner and thinking, 'There has to be a menu we can order from.'

I cannot absorb living in a world where I have an Oscar for best actress and Denzel doesn't have one for best actor.

I wouldn't do nudity in films. For me, personally... To act with my clothes on is a performance; to act with my clothes off is a documentary.
