A big thing for me is trusting the director, so I don't need to watch playback. I feel like the director is gonna tell me whether it's right or not.

The size of a studio film lets you see technology in a way that you wouldn't on an independent film, like the gadgets and the angles and all that.

It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.

You don't always have to look in the distance for what's going on over there, when you actually see what's right in front of you.

On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

I'm not someone who doesn't want to see the films, but I like to see them as an end product when the whole nuance of the character is put together.

When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.

That's the great thing about the 'Sin City' movies. Each little slot is incredibly meaningful, and each character has their own moment.

You know, I do projects that I really care about. I hope I'll stand by that until the day I die!

When an author sleeps, her brain creates more stories for her pen.

Readers are plentiful

I bit the inside of my cheek. I wanted to hit him. Not just for his presumptuousness, but for the way my heart jumped to my throat at his words and how his eyes looked me over.

What I like in a good author is not what he says but what he whispers.

What no wife of a writer can ever understand...is that a writer is working when he's staring out the window.

In all failures, the beginning is certainly the half of the whole.

What we humans think we know is nothing compared to what we need to believe to numb the fear and pain.

Christianity loses its scriptural fidelity and internal power when it no longer affirms both sola fide and the necessity of obedience.

When you are too old to play golf, you had better die.

Godly people are waiting for the Lord; therefore they live, therefore they are saved, therefore they receive what has been promised.
