We should work to guarantee that there is a midwife or health worker by every woman's side during childbirth.

Investing in women's lives is an investment in sustainable development, in human rights, in future generations - and consequently in our own long-term national interests.

When our mothers are alive and healthy, they do extraordinary things... like the mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who marched in Argentinean plazas, defying the military junta dictatorship and demanding the whereabouts of their abducted children... or the Liberian mothers who faced down civil war armed only with T-shirts and courage.

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

It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality.

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.

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