“Women still, when they have breast cancer, go to work; they still lead their lives. They have to. I just did what I was supposed to do. I didn't want to exploit it or be too "actory" about it, if that makes any sense. That's also why I didn't shave my head; I feel like you have to earn that. I applaud other actors who do that and I am not ripping on them, but to me, that's a badge of honor if you're fighting this disease.” IfsWantFeelsStillsFightingActorsLike YouHonorDiseaseCancerBreastsExploitsBreast CancerBadges Author:Monica Potter

So you're automatically drawn to that aspect in the rest of your life.” ChildrenRealEndsEnoughHappensKidsRememberPoliticalMotherActorsNaturalInterestingDiseaseLosingEmpathyConsequenceAspectIraqActiveRest Of Your LifeNatural Consequences Author:Susan Sarandon

At a time when more than one billion people are denied the very minimum requirements of human dignity, business cannot afford to be seen as the problem. Rather, it must work with governments and all other actors in society to mobilize global science, technology and knowledge to tackle the interlocking crises of hunger, disease, environmental degradation and conflict that are holding back the developing world.” PeopleWorldHumansProblemGovernmentAgeActorsChallengesResponsibilityTechnologyProgressInspireConflictDiseaseDignityCrisisEnvironmentalHungerBillionsDevelopingCrucialDeniedMinimumProvokingRequirementsCitizenshipDegradationPillarsHuman DignityInterdependenceHolding BackEnvironmental DegradationScience TechnologyShared Responsibility Author:Kofi Annan
