I don't think there is enough youth employment or enough push for youths to kind of do want they want to do.

Kids will pick up on weakness, and I was very shy growing up. I was skinny and flat-chested; I didn't have the latest clothes. For me, it was about being left out and not having any friends and being laughed at. I was very lonely, but that happens to so many people.

I was painfully shy as a child; I was dyslexic. I had a single mother who's an immigrant. I just didn't believe acting was something that people like me could do on a professional level.

I can't wait to take my son to see 'Wonder Woman' - I can't wait to show him all the female characters can be well-rounded people.

We were totally confident that we would make it internationally. We had no money or instruments. We used cake tins or bottles with water in them - anything to make sounds.

My childhood was great, my family was great. I wasn't in a mansion, but we made it work.

I understood from a very young age that school was important and that my parents were making great sacrifices for me. Every morning I saw my father get up and go to a job that he didn't really like. They came to France for the same reasons all immigrants move to another country - so their kids could have a better way of life.

My senior year of high school, I got into UCLA, but my family couldn't afford it.
