I think my mission is to become the greatest human I can. I know that sounds pompous, but what else do we have?

The roles that I am attracted to are women who try to do something about their lives, and not a woman who waits for some circumstance or man to come rescue her. I have no interest in that.

Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.

I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up.

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

I'm very practical. What I'm reaching for is individualism for women

I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me
