I’ve been successful, but I haven’t had any unwanted attention. To be honest, I’ve never invited or courted attention. I think if you act normal, then people will treat you normally. If you go around with a big entourage all the time, you’re not staying true to yourself.

I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that’s going on.
Much of political decision-making concentrates power in the hands of those already inside the circle, who tend to be men. Excluding women may not be the intention, but when they are not invited into the room where decisions are made, you can see how it happens.
