Quotes
“We each have a self, but I don’t think that we’re born with one. You know how newborn babies believe they’re part of everything; they’re not separate? Well that fundamental sense of oneness is lost on us very quickly. It’s like that initial stage is over – oneness: infancy, unformed, primitive. It’s no longer valid or real.”
— Thandie Newton
“I guess patriarchal stereotypes have, as is true for most people, created painful moments in my life. As a result, I’m an activist. I’m for women’s rights, children’s rights, human rights, animal rights. I want to be part of the solutions to try to correct imbalance. And ‘Westworld,’ for me, is that.”
— Thandie Newton
“I was absolutely blown away when I first talked to Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan at how ambitious they wanted ‘Westworld’ to be in looking at the drives that are leading human beings over the cliff of existence.”

— Thandie Newton
“If we’re all living in ourselves and mistaking it for life, then we’re devaluing and desensitizing life.”
