Context: I no longer care about the mistakes of yesterday. I care about coping with tomorrow … together.

We will no longer impose our power on humanity. We will earn your trust … using the wisdom left as his legacy. I asked him to choose between humans and superhumans. But he alone knew that was a false division … and made the only choice that ever truly matters … he chose life … in the hope that your world and our world could be one world once again.

“Acting requires so much delving into yourself and exposing yourself, so it's sensible to be wondering, Do I still want to be doing this? But I enjoy the work, and everything is so solid at home. I don't care if they say I've had buttock implants. Or not. I don't care. Go ahead! That's the nice thing about getting to the age I am. I could have said I didn't care before -- but secretly I did. And now I really don't.”

Kate Beckinsale (1973) English actress
