“I wasn’t born self-confident – I fought for it. So to anyone who feels at her worst right now, realize there’s a way out. I wasn’t at my best either. It took the right mentors and the natural growing pains of life to get where I am. Everyone can get there. You’ll get there. Believe it.”
You’re trying so hard to be an artist and craft something and create an audience that appreciates your work in the same way as a director or a writer, or whatever it is. That’s what you’re still doing as an actor, is hoping that people will want to suspend their disbelief with you. You’re creating a relationship. And it can be thrown away because someone takes a bad paparazzi photo. It’s so dismissive and disrespectful but it’s a reality. There’s nothing you can do.

When I see a woman who is all gaunt and emaciated, I don’t think she’s beautiful. She reminds me of a Chihuahua that’s freezing and shaking.
As an actor there are times when you’re sitting around and wishing you were working, so you’ve got to just take it when it comes. –Rosario Dawson

Women are sometimes afraid to attach themselves to feminism because they are afraid of what that could mean for them. The whole conversation is changing. It’s not feminism of the past, it’s what is happening now. It’s how we are treating each other and what we are acknowledging as something or not. Just because you don’t acknowledge something doesn’t mean it’s not happening. We have not broken through the glass ceiling in a lot of places. Changes are not easy to bring about and it takes people bravely going into it and fighting for it. Collaborating is really the key. So often in the places where women have been able to rise, that has opened up the door for other women to come through.

The amazing thing about being alive and seeing where social media is, is that we’re not as dependant as we used to be on higher powers talking about something. We can help each other and talk about it ourselves. I’m seeing a beautiful rise of that kind of thing happening and I’m really connected to that. There’s always going to be people fighting the good fight.
