Quote

I was raised in a very activist household so that I grew up surrounded by people who were activists.

I've been an activist since my late teens. I take this very seriously and try to use the gift that's been given to me - access to the media - as positively as I can.

I didn't wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn't help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all around you.

I'm not an activist per se, but I have strong feelings about things. People can jump on celebrities for being ill-informed or naive, but I've got a right to say what I believe.

I find myself walking these lines. Like I might be an artist, but I also might be an activist. And I'm trying to be both in a way that honors both and doesn't stray too far into either.

I don't necessarily see myself as an activist, running down the street and knocking at every door.

I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.

Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.
