“It is not an easy time for any of us. It is a difficult time in the world, but I am not going to allow a politician to tell me what I can and cannot do, how I can and cannot live and what is the value of my life and what not. So get up, stand up and say what you’re worth. That’s what courage is,” were some of Stone’s words.
In addition, the actress also wanted to talk about her experiences with breast cancer screening: “Those mammograms are not fun. And for someone like me who was told that she had breast cancer because of a lump bigger than my chest, it wasn’t. I went to the hospital and said, ‘If you cut me open and it’s cancer, please take both of my breasts. I’m not a person defined by my breasts. That might sound funny coming from me, since everyone has seen them.” .
