Sharon Stone on Abuse, Death, and Who Believed in Her
Q: Describe what he says next when you were threatened by a boyfriend in California.

Harvard Professor: You Won’t Be Happy Until You FIX This | Arthur Brooks
Q: Where did you grow up and how did it shape your path?
I grew up in Seattle with a family rooted in arts and academia, which exposed me to a spectrum of ideas and disciplines. My early dream of being a great French horn player met the reality that my calling lay in understanding people, meaning, and how to uplift others through science and policy.
A side of Charlie Puth the media never showed
Q: What would you write to that younger kid, that younger you, if you had to write him a note?
I would tell him that it's not all about being perfect, that imperfections make you human and that you should keep pushing, trusting that things will work out.
The Cold Pitch That Took Her From UNKNOWN To Hollywood | Ava DuVernay
Q: What is your approach to mentorship and paying it forward?
I focus on practical support, opening doors but also ensuring ongoing exposure and resources, like connecting aspiring filmmakers with programs, and showing up for people beyond a moment of praise, so they can sustain their own momentum.
The Cold Pitch That Took Her From UNKNOWN To Hollywood | Ava DuVernay
Q: How did that early support translate into opportunities for others?
The trust and visibility from that moment helped us create Array, push indie films to Netflix, and build a structure that brings artists and audiences together without relying on traditional studio support, thereby helping others access opportunities.
