I was studying for the SAT's and learning lines.

Even today, in our progressive times, in most movies that come out, the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.

Every day I've got to be thankful that I am alive, and you never know - the cliche is, I guess, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, so you'd better be at peace with whatever you got going at the moment.

The career stuff is for business people.

When I look back on my career, I go, 'This is really great, I've played so many different women.'

And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.

I've built a career in one of the toughest, most ruthless industries in the world. You can't do that unless you're completely with it.

The dream for many millennial women is to make a difference as social or political entrepreneurs. They are using the social media and marketing tools they have mastered to empower less fortunate women and direct them onto career tracks that women have traditionally avoided, like science and technology.
