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.
Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.
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 was of the generation where most of the Disney princesses and female characters were not girls that I admired. They just weren't characters I looked up to and identified with.
I usually try to look for something I haven't done before, a side of me that I haven't completely explored. There's a truth in acting, and there is a very real part of me that can understand that or can believe in that or can see the beauty of that or see the ugliness in that and the statement that needs to be made. So it's all kind of me.
Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries.

If you're not in a happy home, wreck one.
This is crazy. I was looking at this. You just made my day.
We will never get it under control if we are selective about who gets to survive.
We love this country and we plan to be back over and over again.
When I was little, like Maleficent, I was told that I was different. And I felt out of place -- too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in. And, then one day I realized something, something that I hope you all realize: Different is good.
Different is good. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud.
Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.
Every day we choose who we are by how we define ourselves.
