I think the term feminist is scary for women, because it means that you're extreme in some way, and I'm not extreme in any way, although I do passionately believe that a woman's role within any organisation is to assist and help other women.

It is critical to create opportunities to identify talented women in business, then support them to develop their confidence to aim for the boardroom.

Too many women don't see themselves in senior leadership and so don't push themselves to advance their careers as their male peer group do.

If I can encourage other women to think about setting up their own businesses and being entrepreneurs and making a contribution then I think that's a good thing.

If you can find it in you to love how stupid the entertainment industry is, you can have a great career.

I had no idea that all the things in my career were going to happen. I sure didn't see it. I just know the good Lord blessed me with ability, blessed me with good eyesight and a good pair of hands, and then I worked at the rest.

Power' is a very special film for me and is one of the finest films of my career. I have played a character that I have never done before. My role has a lot of comedy.

If I could have grown up to be Robin Thicke, I would have. But I'm glad somebody in the family did.
