I love being a mum, but it's much more intensive work than being an actress - going to work feels like you've got a day off. Not that I want a day off from being a mum; it's just perhaps I had this impression before that mums don't work. But they work more than anyone.

Our generation has the ability and the responsibility to make our ever-more connected world a more hopeful, stable and peaceful place.

I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.

Everyone dreams of living in Paris.

It's a lot easier to make friends when you're younger, because kids are a lot less judgmental than adults. They're more like, "O.K., let's be friends." Not, "So, what's your job?" "What's your marriage status?"

I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.

I also feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold.
