Thandie Newton quotes

Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it. (Thandie Newton)
I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin. View quote

There's a very strong connection between a lot of the evils of the modern world-factory farming, abuse against women-and the environment. We're destroying the female. If you think about the earth as a female organism which it is, in its totality, you know how we're disrespecting and abusing it. ... [I have] very strong feelings about factory farming ... I'm a vegetarian myself ... I don't want any kind of suffering of any living form but it's more to do with the awareness that so much of the meat on the planet is being produced by factory farms. Animals are being pumped full of growth hormones which are then getting fed to our kids. And it's affecting the water, environment. ... We are being duped and controlled by huge multinationals that are concerned about the short term, not the long term and don't care about the individual. View quote
