An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'

Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.

If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously.

I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.

I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.

I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

I don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.

I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.

The word 'circumnavigate' is quite a beautiful word.

I'm not capable of being casual with you, Lily.

Isn't it weird the way you remember things, when someone's gone?

I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous.

The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

Economics, as it has emerged, can be made more productive by paying greater and more explicit attention to the ethical considerations that shape human behaviour and judgment.

There is nothing like a parade to elicit the proper respect for the military from the populace.

I like to employ the power of no. We all want to say yes, because with yes comes so much opportunity, but with the power of no comes focus and engagement.

The worst thing we can do is put the (other) team in a one-and-one.

With practice the craft will come almost of itself, in spite of you and all the more easitly if you think of something besides technique.

Mushy reviews are a breach of faith
