Part of what I love about getting older is realizing that there's something perfect in the imperfection. It's all very human.

There was a time when only men could provide or work, and still a lot of countries are like that. But there's a price to be paid for that when you're expected to be the full-time caretaker and you're expected to be the full-time breadwinner.

Young people - there's been very little places in positions of authority in law enforcement for young people's skill sets, but the truth is we need them.

To really be known and really let someone else be known is very vulnerable. It's a weird thing. Just being an actress in Hollywood is very vulnerable. To let all these other people decide whether you're really of value or not, you have to really be strong to know that, of course, they have a right to their opinion, but their opinion doesn't matter as far as yourself.

A lot of being an actor is being something that people imagine you to be.

To every woman who gave birth, to every citizen and taxpayer, it's our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women of the United States of America!

It's always beautiful to see people striving to grow.
