Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do it even though it takes a lot.

If you empower women, you can change the world.

Any idiot can be brave, but courage is about knowing what's at stake, and moving forward anyway.

I wouldn't have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.

My father says that almost the whole world is asleep, everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement.

It's triumphant for someone to wake up to life. I feel a tremendous sense of liberation. You want to be able to use both your intuitive side and your go-get-'em side with no blame.

A l lot of films I've done are essentially about women who are finding their voice, women who don't know themselves well.
