Hilary Swank: "I believe in miracles"

Hilary Swank has claimed that she believes in miracles.

The Amelia star explained that she feels lucky to have achieved so much in her life.

"I would say I believe in miracles," she told The Independent. "Especially after seeing where I've come from and where I am today.

"A lot of young women - and some men - come up to me and say, 'You're a reminder to me not to give up my dream. That you don't have to be born into it'."

Amelia is currently in US cinemas and will be released in the UK on November 13.
