Make bold choices and make mistakes. It’s all those things that add up to the person you become.
It’s been a lifetime ambition of mine to play an 007 villain.
I’m with a man who’s evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful because of the journey it has taken.
I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.
I’m hopeful that increased awareness of the issues in Africa will bring about a new wave of progress and activism among young people everywhere.
I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that’s just the best way to live.
I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.
I don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I’m skinny, as if that’s supposed to make me happy.
I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been able to have that balance as an actress to be able to do the wild, fun action movies and also be allowed to do the dramas. Hopefully, if I’m able to keep that balance, I’d love to always try to do both.
I’ve told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.
You know, more children die under the age of five when the parents are not educated.
I am working for a better United Nations. Nothing is perfect. You should never rely on only one source, but rather rely on those you believe in the most.
I love doing action. And I love doing dramatic films, and I’d never really been able to combine them.
I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I’m walking down the street.
I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I’ll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don’t taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me.
I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.
Sometimes acting and politics make a very bad combination. I think that sometimes people take me less seriously in my work for the UN because I am an actor.
I cry secretly. I don’t really cry in front of anybody. I hate crying. I feel like it’s not accomplishing anything. But when I lost my mother, I cried, and I cried big.
I don’t really send text messages. I rarely carry my phone. I occasionally check messages at the end of the night, but I don’t carry it around.
I want to better understand the world I live in, and I want to be able to learn how to be more effective. I want to learn and I want to listen.
I’ve had a wonderful career and I’m very happy to have had all of the opportunities that I’ve had to tell stories and work for as long as I have. I’m sure there’ll be a few more films but I’m happy that I’m able to be selective.
