"I always say I'll go where I'm needed - I don't know if I'm fit for politics, but then I've also joked that I don't have a skeleton left in my closet so I'm pretty open and out there.
"I can take a lot on the chin, so that's good."
The actress added: "I honestly will do whatever I think can really make change and right now I am able to work with a UN agency to do a lot of work directly with people in need.

"I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done without a title and without it being about myself and my policies.
"So for now I'll sit quiet."
