She joined British journalist Jemima Khan for on stage to talk about the challenges women in business continue to face.
‘I don't allow fame to define me,’ she explained, reports The Irish Independent. ‘No one wants to hear a famous person complain. They think, “Oh, boo hoo for them”. I became famous quite late in life - I was 28 or 29. I already had my BA, my education and I was quite set in who I am.
‘If you allow the media to define you as “America's Sweetheart” or the “funny woman”, that's where you get into trouble. Because I was so set in who I was, it brushes off me.’

The brunette stunner was first spotted out and about in the nation's capital on Monday, where sh looked decidedly chilly despite being wrapped up in a stylish baby blue coat, black boots and a thick black scarf.
Desperate Housewives actress Eva shared with her Twitter followers that she had tucked in to a traditional Irish breakfast at the renowned Bewley's Cafe before going to see the Book Of Kells - the famous manuscript  containing the four Gospels of the New Testament - at Trinity College.
She shared a picture of herself jumping beside a sign for the Book on her WhoSay account and wrote: 'Wow truly a national treasure! #BookOfKells (They wouldn't let me jump in the long room ).'

It's been a busy few days for Eva, who spent Saturday campaigning with Vice President Joe Biden for Democratic candidates and later hosting a cancer benefit in Las Vegas.

As the co-founder of the Latino Victory PAC and a notable political activist, Longoria offered her assistance to Biden.
Both gave speeches in support of Democrats like Representative Steven Horsford and Nevada lieutenant governor candidate Lucy Flores.
Eva is no stranger to the political world, and has been especially active in support of the Barack Obama Presidency and of Latino causes in general.
Bundled up: Eva, who was born in Texas, looked completely chilled as she strolled around Dublin 
She was a co-chair of Obama's re-election campaign in 2012 and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in that same year.
The Latino Victory PAC co-sponsored Saturday's event, held at a Las Vegas union headquarters, with the state Democratic Party.
After the politics were finished for the day, the former Desperate Housewives star attended an event of a very different nature in the same city.
