My motivation was to show people that you don’t have to give up on your dreams to be who you are…I’ve been given a special opportunity to be visible for those who can’t be. Being a professional athlete, I’ve been given a platform to speak about my history and the things that I’ve been through. So hopefully the other people that have been going through what I’ve been through can kind of find a voice in me.

Watch: Serena Williams just masterfully defended herself against a manipulative reporter and gave us all a world class lesson in self love at the same time

There are 101 ways this exchange could’ve gone differently. However, Williams’ concise directive, “You should apologize,” did more than demand kindness. It demanded accountability for rudeness. Well done. This is truly the perfect lesson in “How to respond to respond rude people in 2017.”

If you were stranded on a desert island with one castmate, who would it be?
I think maybe Jiang Wen. He’s taken to teaching me Mandarin. I kind of go up to him between scenes and between takes and just – “How do you say this? How do you say that?”
