I think there's nothing more amazing than helping people every day.

If you educate children, then they are capable of so much - you empower them, you give them choices, and you enable them to create the lives that they dream for themselves.

Education opens the door to everything in terms of having a career and an impact on society and not being a slave to your job, really.

I would say only be an actress if you genuinely feel the calling, because it's a tough profession.

Acting is a career without a safety net, because it's not like a professional job where every year you hope to be promoted, and get a sense of career stability. There is never any stability in this business.

I don't remember my childhood very well at all, but my earliest memory is holding a man's hand as I was walking down the street at about 1ВЅ. I can still remember the shoes I was wearing, but I don't know who the man was or what the memory relates to.

Powerful women are the most interesting to play.
