I want to be the best daughter, sister, friend and wife I can possibly be - because when I die, I am not going to be buried with my Oscar.

Fathers, sons, brothers, men everywhere: Your legacy will not perish if you take your partner's surname, or she keeps hers.

I love women. I worship women. Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.

I love skin. I don't believe the body is something to hide.
