I Wouldn't Be Honest If I Didn't Say My Mom. Apart From The Fact That She's My Mother, She's A Brilliant Comedian And A Force As A Producer. She Paved The Way For Women To Produce And Star In Their Own Films, And To Balance That With Being The Matriarch Of Our Family Is Really Inspiring.

Nobody Can Tell You To Do Things A Way That You Don't Want To Do Them. Nobody Can Say Really What's Right Or What's Wrong. It's Like Some People Don't Feed Their Children Meat. Some People Do. It's A Crazy World.

The Thing We Need To Work On As A Country Is Our Educational System. To Me, That Is Something That Our Generation Needs To Be Focused On. To Make Sure That For Our Next Generation, Every Child - No Matter What Background, No Matter What Ethnicity, No Matter Whether They're Whatever Gender - That They Are All Educated To Have Real Equal Opportunity. That's Number One For Me. But I Have No Question That If It's Not Our Generation That Will Make Sure That That Happens That It Will Be Our Children's Generation.

I'm Not A Big Fan Of Romantic Comedies, Believe It Or Not...

I Have Such Faith In The Millennial Generation, Because They Just Don't Think Like Other Generations Do. They Really Don't. And I Truly Believe It's Going To Be A Phenomenal Thing To Watch, Because They're Very Outspoken. They Are Living In A World Right Now Where Equality Is Something That The Young Kids Are Supporting. It's Just What Their Focus Is. Equality Is Everything To The Kids. At Least That's What I'm Witnessing And It's An Amazing Thing To Watch.

I Cherish My Clothes And I Remember What Seasons They're From. But Someone Said To Me As I Was Having Trouble With Styling A Dress That I Had Bought, And He Said To Me: "throw It On The Floor."

Technology Allows Us To Weed Out A Lot Of The Extraneous Circumstances That Can Happen In Certain Environments. If You Have An Opportunity To Say, "i'm Going To Be In Charge Of My Own Narrative. I'm Going To Be The One Who Sees That This Is Ok For Me," Like Anything Else, It Just Gives You A Position Of Feeling Like You Can Be In Charge Of Those Things.

If I'm Not Feeling Good, I Load On Jewelry. It Gives Me Energy And Makes Me Feel Happy.

Tough Women Who Don't Take Sh*t Are Also Put In Positions That Are Really Scary For Them. It's Important That They Feel Supported, But It's Also Important That We Allow People To Come To Things On Their Own Time. It's A Very Scary Thing When You're A Woman Who's Been Assaulted Or Harassed To Come Forward. And It Takes A Lot Of Courage.

When In Doubt, Wear White. I Think White Is A Very Important Color Just Spiritually, And I Think When You're Feeling That Way White Is A Great Color To Wear.

Just Because You're Wearing Something That's Like A Gown Or What Have You, You Should Wear It Like You Can Take Your Shoes Off And Put Your Feet Up And What I Realized Is That Most People I Love Fashion-wise, They Wear Clothes Like That. An Ease To It. I Thought That Was A Nice Tool.

I'm The Kind Of Person Who, As Much As I Like Clothes In Real Life Because It's A Fun Expression Of Who You Are And Everybody Kind Of Enjoys Wearing Things That Make Them...well, In Movies You're Wearing Things That Aren't Necessarily The Things You Would Choose To Put On Or Wear.

Never Worry About Bad Press. All That Matters Is If They Spell Your Name Right.

When You're Nursing And You're Working 18-hour Days, That's Pretty Hard

The Dialogue Is Out There, The Veil Has Been Lifted. We All Know That There's A Ways To Go. We're Still Fighting Uphill Battles, And You Just Have To Hone In On Making Change, One Dialogue At A Time, One Course Of Action At A Time.

We Have To Remember That We're No Longer Competing For Anything Anymore. We're Not Competing For Life And Death. Now We Need To Go Back To When We Would Raise Our Children Together And Be Able To Have That Strong Unit Of Community, Which Is Our Strength. So Women Together, As A Tribe, To Me, Are The Strongest Force. But We Were Put In A Position To Have To Compete With Each Other, And That's Got To Stop. We've Got To Know That Whenever That Creeps Up In Our Head, That That's Not Our True Nature. That Was Something That Was Embedded In Us, And That Needs To Start To Go Away.

You Don't Wear Stuff For Other People; You've Got To Wear It For Yourself.

A Lot Of My Life Involves Sitting And Having Make-up Put On; Whether It's On A Movie Set Or For A Photo Shoot. When You're Wearing That Kind Of Make-up All The Time Your Skin Does Get All This Sensitivity, So It's Important That You Make Sure You Have Make-up That Is Easy On Your Skin And Not Too Harsh For It.

What I Love The Most That I Really Want To Talk About Is That There Are Women In Business. They Are Incredibly Focused On Creating Their Own Businesses And Going Out There. That's Going To Be Their Life, Whether They Have Kids Or Not. And Then There Are Women Who Have Children That Kind Of Nobly Say, "you Know What? I'm Going To Be A Mom, And That's Going To Be My Work And My Love Of My Life." Which To Me, Is Just As Ambitious Of A Job And A Journey.

I'm Working 18 Hour Days And I'm Feeling Guilty Not Being Able To Be There When All Those Times I Want To Be Mother.

Here's A History Lesson: When Men Took Power Of Their Lands, All Of A Sudden, Women Became A Prize. In Order For Us To Be Protected, We Had To Make Sure That We Had Our Partner On Our Side.

If There Is One Thing I Will Never Have, It Is An Eating Disorder. I Won't Have Girls - Even If It Is Just One Or Two Who Care - Thinking That. Because It Is A Serious Sickness, Not Something To Plaster On The Cover Of A Magazine. And I Am The Opposite. I Want Girls To Love Themselves. I Want Them To Feel Good About Who They Arethe Thing Is, I'm Lucky Because I Was Loved. But I Have Seen So Many Young Women Who Can't Feel Good About Themselves Because They Just Don't Have That Love.

I Think Women Are Not Interested In Being Like "the Man" Or Having The Same Position As "the Man." Women Want To Be Women With Equal Rights. At This Point Now, We're Very Clear About That.

So I Think That's The Difference Of Today Than The Fight That My Mom Had To Fight, Which Was A Little Bit Different And As Complicated.

I'm Pretty Comfortable With My Body. I'm Imperfect. The Imperfections Are There. People Are Going To See Them, But I Take The View You Only Live Once.

I Got So Much Advice; I Just Started Tuning It Out. If One More Person Told Me What I Had To Do When The Baby Comes, I Was Going To Shoot 'em.

It's Kind Of A Funny World We Live In Today With Tabloids And All. I Feel There's So Much Negativity Out There And People Sense That People Only Want To Read Things That Either Are Controversial Or Negative, Therefore You End Up Dealing With People Lying About Your Life And Having To Answer To Things That Become Ridiculous With An Onslaught Of Lies And You Have To Answer To Them.

I Smoke, Isn't That Terrible?

I'm A Big Rings Person...and Bracelets...and Earrings. I Love All Of It [laughs].

Is That Actually Possible?" And I Looked Down And, Because When I Travel I Don't Like To Pack My Jewelry So I End Up Wearing A Ton Of It, And I Had Just Had Everything On Me. And I Love Buying Jewelry When I Travel - So There Was A Lot.

Love Is Scary, Like Anything Else, Whether You're Falling In Love, Whether You're Discovering Love In Something Else...if You're Really Going To Jump Off The Cliff, When You Meet Somebody That You Love You're Going To Jump Off That Cliff, You've Got To Give Them Everything. And When You Have A Kid, It's On A Much Greater Level.

Falling In Love

In Certain States There's A Statute Of Limitation On Women Who Have Been Raped. How Do You Do That To A Woman? If They Are Hiding Something For 10 Years That They Finally Have The Courage To Come Forward And Talk About, How Could You Take That Away From Her? And That Person Should Still Be Held Accountable. There's So Much About This That We Should Always Be Talking About. There Are So Many Layers. And It Happens Every Day, All The Time.

I Think For All The Women Who Are Working Parents It's Difficult To Balance Your Work-life And Your Home-life. You Make Obvious Sacrifices Because You Really Just Want To Be With Your Family.
