The idea of community and helping others has always been a part of who I am. Growing up, my parents always made sure that my siblings and I were doing our part to serve our local community.

The goal isn't how much money you make, but how much you help people.

People often ask me what I consider my goal to be at TOMS. The truth is that it's changed over the years. When we first began, the goal was to create a for-profit company to help the children that I met in a small village in Argentina.

We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights.

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.

I'm definitely happy with the progression of my career. I'm glad I didn't jump to stardom immediately, because I get to enjoy the ride and the chase. Because nothing came easy, I really appreciate it when I book roles.

Last year, the surgery was a tough decision, but I had to make a decision based on my career. It was a decision to get healthy, and start over with a new team at 100 percent.

We want to take our activism and our power into action and change things for every woman, everywhere, working in any workplace.
