My children are still young, but I try to talk to them about giving back and how important it is, just to look at the world, be invested in things, to be passionate about things, to have a dream.

I don't listen to people who say my dreams are impossible; I just work to prove them wrong.

I always loved having the chance to disappear in a story. I always was kind of obsessed with that.

I think, first of all, every time you want to play somebody who is real is always challenging and always scary, because you are given a responsibility of someone's real life.

It's always a tricky thing, trying to make aid sustainable.

Doing designs on a loom takes a lot of talent and experience, and, trust me, I won't be able to do that.

If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.
