Famous 71-year-old British actress Helen Mirren, who can be seen in the tapes "Queen" and "Window to Heaven", flew to the United States yesterday to take part in a graduation ceremony for graduates of the University of Tulane in New Orleans. In her speech on this event, Helen touched on many interesting things.
Farewell words to graduates
Those who are familiar with the life and work of Mirren know that the actress is always pretty open in her statements. Speech to people who received diplomas yesterday about graduating from the university, Helen began with the words of the eternal. That's what the actress said: "When yesterday I was preparing for what I wanted to tell you, it was, first of all, a phrase that you would remember for the next 40 years. At once nothing came to mind, but after a while I I realized that you need to talk about painful. So, here's my parting phrase:
"Wherever you are, in the White House or in the old neighborhoods of New Orleans, nothing good will happen if you write different posts at your page on Twitter at 3 am".
This statement was more like not just the parting words that the graduates had to remember for a long time, but the taunts that were thrown at Donald Trump, because he had a habit of publishing different news on Twitter at night.

A few words about feminism
The British actress has repeatedly confessed in her interviews that she is an avid feminist. She decided to touch on this topic in her speech at the University of Tulane:
"For some reason, it always seemed to me that feminism is only politics, but eventually I realized that this is a way of life. Women are no worse than men. They can perform different jobs with the same impact and professionalism. Of course, there are such professions that require physical strength and there women have nothing to do, because men are stronger by nature, but otherwise, we can compete with a strong gender. In addition, feminism gives women the right to control their own destinies, time and desires. Is not it wonderful? ".
And in conclusion, Mirren said these words:
"You are people who represent the future of our country! Take for yourself the rule of moving only forward. It is very important. Then our life will turn into something positive, life-affirming and very happy. "
