No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.
In fighting for women, we fight for humanity. We fight for the future -- for everyone.
You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.
When you are passionate about life, it keeps you young. Sometimes I wake up at 4:00 am just to see how my roses look.
What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
I'm concerned about my daughter because she will not believe in Santa Claus. No matter what I say to her, she just doesn't buy it, and she's 2. I refuse to give it up. I say, 'There is a Santa Claus,' and she says, 'Okay, Mommy. In pretend world, right?' She really doesn't believe.
Your empathy for other mothers is such a natural instinct and it's such a beautiful thing that we all connect, and we should all help each other.
I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.
I believe that change keeps you young.
Life is about chasing after the things you think are truly worth it, even if they don't happen, I'd rather have nothing but know I didn't settle for something I didn't want!
This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.
I realize now that I've hoped to be great - as an actress, as a mother - because I want to embody the greatness of women who didn't get to be all they could have been. Their dignity, their courage, and their brilliance make me strive to be better. They're a part of me.
I keep waiting to meet a man who has more balls than I do.
Sometimes evolving doesn't mean transforming; sometimes it just means owning what is there.
