Key Quotes:  

Sophia Bush on the viral illness she experienced this summer: 

“Going through a really severe viral illness is pretty terrifying. And getting so sick while I was in the midst of this play on the West End, my theatrical debut…and having to truly shut down for the first time, I’m not accustomed to that. It really taught me some lessons about how to take care of myself.” 

  

Sophia Bush on her activism and advocacy work: 

“A lot of people say, ‘I just don't do politics.’ I'm like, ‘Well, honey, politics is doing you, me, and everybody else, every day.’ So for me, it feels important that we see it and figure out ways to participate in it for good.” 

 

Alysia Reiner on what innovation means to her: 

“Innovation is something I'm thinking about all the time, as an artist and a human and a mother in our world today. I think about it most in reference to climate; [that’s] where it feels the most important, or life-or-death, or crucial — whatever word you want to use — and a bit of an imperative. So I'm always excited to celebrate innovation that can change the world and to be an advocate and a champion for those things.” 

Carla Hall on her genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s: 

“I’m so passionate about brain health. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s, my mother has just been diagnosed in recent years with mild dementia, and when I did a DNA test, it was shown that I carry the gene for Late-Onset Alzheimer’s.” 

  

Carla Hall on turning 60 next year: 

“I’m calling it ‘sexty.’ I really want to lean into my sexuality…being comfortable with myself is also about my femininity and my sexuality, and I think that’s worth exploring. I would like for that to be one of my pillars in my 60th year: how Carla got her sexy back.”
