I'm a woman, and anytime you tell a woman that she looks nice, it's not going to upset her.

If something inconveniences my children too much or takes me away from them, I won't do it.

It is not where you start out in life that counts the most, it is how you choose to face it.

If you become aware of a public self, you're in danger of becoming a very artificial person.

I imagine I will be less involved in film and be focused more on family and foreign affairs.

I think that if more people saw more things, they wouldn't be able to really help themselves.

I like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.

My whole family have all been through a difficult time. My focus is my children, our children.

It's easier to be with somebody. But it's better to be single if you're with the wrong person.

I like the feeling of being dominated. It actually makes me feel safe as opposed to challenged.

No, no, no, I've just grown up too much to be hurt by what people's opinion of my love life is.

I do have tatoos, and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me, that my film express.

When I was growing up I never babysat. I was considered to 'punk rock' to be trusted with kids.

It's better to have nobody, than to have someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there

Everyone can help. We can educate ourselves and our children about other countries and cultures.

Progress is slow, it is uneven, it is fragile and in some parts of the world it is being erased.

We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.

Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.

That just sounds so funny, A-list. Really, I'm a mom, and that's how I'm going to be all my life.

I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.

The fact is I am not having sex. But I feel absolutely ripe for the, what would you say? plucking?

Our diversity is our strength. What a dull and pointless life it would be if everyone was the same.

It may sound cliché, but when you feel beautiful and strong on the inside, it shows on the outside.

My mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young.

Just be a cool grandpa who's creative, and hang out and tell stories and read a book in the library.

I love doing action. And I love doing dramatic films, and I'd never really been able to combine them.

I’m still having trouble convincing Pax that underwear and pants go together – underwear is not pants!

I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can't stop lifting it, and I love that you know.

If you ask people what they've always wanted to do, most people haven't done it. That breaks my heart.

There are many things I do where the centre of it is... It's almost more my humanitarian work than art.

When I was growing up, I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn't have parents.

I'm in a rare position where I don't have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.

If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.

I was very worried about my mother, growing up - a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.

If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.

If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is.

You can seek advice, learn about the options and make choices that are right for you. Knowledge is power.

... the one that has the worst effect for me was pot. I felt silly and giggly - I hate feeling like that.

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

I'm a fairy. I'd come and hear, "How was your day, honey?" And I'd be like, "I was a fairy. I don't know."

I'm not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don't walk away from it when something unfolds.

I have men in my life. I have a brother. So Maddox will have male teachers. I was raised without a father.

I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that's just the best way to live.

Every woman is different when they go through menopause, and... I didn't know emotionally how I would feel.

Different is good. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud.

I think it is funny that we were freer about sexuality in the 4th century B.C. It is a little disconcerting.

I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.

I think that what happens when you lose a parent, where you lose - you drop into a different kind of serious.

I personally feel like, if you're watching a film about war, you should get a sense of what it's really like.

People have two sides, a good side and a bad side, a past, a future. We must embrace both in someone we love.
