A lot of times in cinema today the women are overly sentimental, so I constantly try to do the opposite. I like strident women.

I think it doesn't matter where you're from, we all need a bit of romance.

I take quite a lot of pride in not knowing what´s cool".

I was willing to put it at risk in order for someone to gain, in order for the situation to get better.

Words are such a poor medium when you really want someone to feel something.

Podcasting might be thought of as a form of academic gift

My hope in writing 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can.
