Whenever we do voter registration, we ask, 'Why haven't you voted before?' The response is often, 'No one's asked us.' It's not about telling people what to do - it's about sharing what they can do.

More quotes by Rosario Dawson
When you look at the gladiator times or at any of the things in human history, people are and have always been attracted to violence to the point where they're in stadiums still to this day watching people getting stoned to death.
Rosario Dawson
Back in the day, you'd walk down to a street corner and see some people making a story with a hat in front of them. It's ancient entertainment, ancient storytelling and oral history - now we're doing it on YouTube.
Rosario Dawson
People watch more documentaries too now. These movies that would normally be shown in these little art houses, and unless you walked by the theater, or happened to read that tiny zine that contained the info for it, or went to a film festival, you might miss it.

There are so many different reasons as to why I love riding trains. But I think ultimately it's the romantic feeling of it. There's something about it that just transports me into old films.
Rosario Dawson
I'm a really smiley person, so I've just learned when I'm doing my own makeup, I have to make sure it's smile ready and not too heavy. As amazing as the Victoria Beckham pout is for photos, I just can't do it!
Rosario Dawson
Anything that has to deal with our mortality is always going to be interesting to us. Life and death is always going to be something that draws our attention.
Rosario Dawson
I've just been very excited that over the years I've constantly had those types of different experiences. I like staying a little bit like acting school, not experimental, necessarily, but just fun. I have the best job in the world: I pretend for a living. You can't get too precious about that.
Rosario Dawson
When I was a kid, I had this idea that I would have a beard when I got older. I thought it'd be nice to rub my chin.
Rosario Dawson
When the companies started making made-for-TV movies, people thought it was a fluke. Who would watch that? Because it's in your TV screen and not in a theater. Remember that?
Rosario Dawson
It's a form of violence, in the way that we look at women and how we expect them to look and be - for what sake? Not health, not survival, no enjoyment of life but just so you could look pretty. I'm constantly telling girls all the time, 'Everything's airbrushed, everything's retouched. None of us look like that.
Rosario Dawson
When we meet, I'm interested and I'm curious about what he's doing because he's burning a number from a client. And I'm like, 'Who is this?' and my girlfriend's like, 'That's a drug dealer. Stay away from him.'
Rosario Dawson
Digital distribution is a whole other way of communicating with your fans and giving them content at their leisure. It's like, there are people making music in their igloos on their PDAs. You're going to see the exact same thing with film.
Rosario Dawson
I remember everyone asking, 'What did you do to get so thin? You looked great.' I looked emaciated.
Rosario Dawson
I'm a New Yorker, so there are some aspects of being a tough woman that I thought I could bring to the role - but it's such a different world as a woman who's like a warrior.
Rosario Dawson
There have been people who've understood it for a long time, who've gone, okay, this is a medium I get. It's not a phase it's not a fad it's actually something quite vital and important, and it's pretty fascinating to watch that.
Rosario Dawson
Me and my friends, we do this little two-finger-on-two-finger thing when we talk to each other, because we're Twitterholics. Maybe #acceptance. I feel like we pay a lot of attention to the word tolerance, and I don't really like it. I get it, but I don't need you to tolerate this. It is. When you accept something, it's much deeper.
Rosario Dawson
When people start to complain, Voting doesn't matter, I'm like, the people of Wisconsin weren't boycotting and hitting the streets and blowing up those rooms because voting didn't change those situations for them. That was their livelihood. There's revolution going on all over the world because they actually can't have a voice.

I am the queen of hashtags! I love hashtags. I think in hashtags. I wish I could write everything in hashtag.
Rosario Dawson
I love watching a movie that is smart, that makes me think, that includes me as an audience member, and I especially love it when I know that the people that I'm working with also do that.
Rosario Dawson
You only live once. You don't want your tombstone to read: 'Played it Safe.'
