I haven't touched a knife in a really long time--I don't need one, I don't want one. Mind you, I will be doing Tomb Raider, and I will probably be throwing them. But I was 14. I was like a real punk kid, and I was going out of my mind. And then sex was boring and I was working and.
I just think if I can ask anything it's for everybody in this room, including myself, to stay focused on the issues.
I just think, especially my daughter, there's no possible way she would have gone to school. She is so smart and so strong, and her potential as a woman one day is great. Hopefully, she will be active in her country and in her continent when she's older. And because she'll have a good education, she'll be able to do that much more.
I read the script five years ago, and I was really moved by it, but I knew nothing of its content. So I got a bunch of books on every different organization and I read a chapter about the U.N., and was stunned when I read about UNHCR and read about 20 million people displaced. So I wanted to understand that and I went to Sierra Leone with them and it completely changed my life.

If you're not in a happy home, wreck one.
When I went to Cambodia something felt like home to me. I knew someone was there who was meant to be in my family. I don't know any other way to explain it,
Fifteen million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS.
The great thing about having a bunch of kids is they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop!
My children love Maleficent's voice, so they always make me do it at home.
I'm always doing something. I never shut my brain off. I always have something going on.
I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet.
Homework's hard. Especially math. My kids joke with me. They tell me they have homework. I say, 'Okay.' And then I sit down and they say, 'It's math.' 'No! Not math! English, history, anything!'
