“My private life has been the subject of much jabbering.”

Milla Jovovich (1975) Ukrainian-born american model and actress

“My politics are private, but many of my feminist politics cross over into my professional life.”

Frances McDormand (1957) American actress

The New York Times interview (2017)
Context: My politics are private, but many of my feminist politics cross over into my professional life. Because I portray female characters — so I have the opportunity to change the way people look at them. Even if I wasn’t consciously doing that, it would happen anyway, just because of how I present as a woman, or as a person. I present in a way that’s not stereotypical, even if I’m playing a stereotypical role. … I can’t subtract that from myself anymore. I could when I was younger. … That’s another great thing about getting older. Your life is written on your face.
