Oh! Look what you made me do.

“I think in cinema, we just need to encourage that sort of equality.”
We all know the story. Virginal girl, pure and sweet, trapped in the body of a swan. She desires freedom but only true love can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a prince, but before he can declare his love, her lustful twin, the black swan, tricks and seduces him. Devastated, the white swan leaps off a cliff, killing herself and, in death, finds freedom.
Black Swan (2010) dir. Darren Aronofsky
Being a woman has always been a powerful thing, where history has sometimes dictated otherwise, but I believe that a woman can be compassionate, sensitive, soft, kind. A woman can be all of those things, but she should also be allowed to be prepared, ambitious, and be in control. Jessica Chastain directed by Philippe Le Sourd for Ralph Lauren’s fragrance Woman

Most executives are male, so it’s always sort of their vision of stuff. I’m constantly fighting against that even when I play the wife or the girlfriend or the best friend. I always try my hardest to bring as much layering in and not make things stereotypical, but it’s hard.
Crimson Peak | Dir. Guillermo del Toro
The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all.
It’s not about what they deserve. It’s about what you believe. And I believe in love.
“I end up doing roles where I’m afraid I’m going to embarrass myself, or fail. But then it gives you that extra hit of adrenalin, and you have to step up your game.”

Paris was a really tough crowd. There was a bit of space near the stage. I said, “Come closer!”. Not a single person moved. It was as if everyone was going, “Do you know what Dua, fuck off. Sing your songs and fuck off!”
