Goldie Hawn: I`m a dreamer
Goldie Hawn classes herself as a "humanitarian dreamer".
The American actress has set up the Hawn Foundation, an educational charity which encourages children to learn different ways of improving their learning skills, such as breathing exercises. Goldie wants kids the world over to reach their potential, and plans to do everything in her power to help them.
"I`m a humanitarian. I`m a dreamer, someone who wishes the best for mankind," she explained. "I get angry at lies, and I get angry at ill-intended people. I think the thing that thrills me the most in life, aside from seeing a happy child giggle, is human spirit."
Goldie was recently in Britain to discuss her MindUp programme, which she spoke to politicians about. The idea is to teach children to recognise when they are becoming stressed and to learn ways of handling it.
The 64-year-old says she came up with the idea because she is fascinated by people and how they behave. She is known for starring in comedy movies, but finds it strange that her fans often expect her to be jolly all the time.
"I do have a side that is contemplative," she told British newspaper The Telegraph. "When I was younger I was this sort of ditzy young comedienne, and people loved to see me laugh, and when I wasn`t they would say to me `Oh come on Goldie, smile!` I used to say to them, `Well, give me a reason to smile`. Because I do get sad, and I do get hurt, and I do get let down, and I do care."
