At the end of the day I'm gonna be dead one day, and what people say about me is going what I accomplished and what I did in my life and how my children are. And I don't think it's gonna be what was printed in the tabloids this year.
I hide my emotions mainly because you don't want somebody to know that you feel sorry for them, because they will feel worse, or because you don't want someone to know or see your fear. If someone like a sick kid or a burn victim sees your fear, they respond to how you respond. And if you show them it's terrible, they will get upset. It's something I've learned over the years.
My mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young. I only realized about five years ago that I actually didn't want to be an actor.
The life changing moment for me what the first time I went to a war zone and that was Sierra Leone. I took two weeks, eleven years ago and I went. I wasn't an Ambassador or anything I just asked to go and I was allowed to go. It was like someone smacked me in the face.

This is crazy. I was looking at this. You just made my day.
The federal government's response must be dramatically increased in order to prevent a further loss of life.
I'm not saying I'm for or against war, but the amount that is spent every month, being, I think they said, five billion dollars, and to ... realize that we're spending 15 billion on AIDS, for over, what is it? Three years, five years?
I'm extremely honest, and I pride myself on it. I don't try to be shocking. I'm playful, and I know when something I'm saying is maybe shocking, but it's just the truth, I never wanted to be scary to people or upsetting to people. I simply want to live the way I need to live.
I ... I don't even know. They're all the same, every single one of them. From wanting to scratch eyes out to you name it,
We will never get it under control if we are selective about who gets to survive.
