My Revolution is in stories. The stories we tell each other; the stories I as an actor tell. The stories we get told. Because there is one big story, and that’s that patriarchy is a natural state for human beings. It’s not; that’s a story. We need to rewrite the real story and the only way we can do that is by representing women as they really are, as magnificent, as wonderful, as powerful, as compassionate, as gifted. – Thandie Newton , V-Day Board Member 20
