Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.

I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it's on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I'm Australian, so I'm not too flashy or glitzy.

Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

I'm generally a people-pleaser so I get high anxiety from any sort of confrontation.

I was very, very shy when I was little. Acting lets you access all those different parts of yourself to make the character authentic.

God predestined His chosen people.

Human rights is a numbers game. Who is going to care if only 20 people pitch for a protest?

I've learned that men and women who are living wholehearted lives really allow themselves to soften into joy and happiness. They allow themselves to experience it.

A mathematician's reputation rests on the number of bad proofs he has given.

I the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time.

But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.

Being happily and successfully married is generally not so much a matter of marrying the right person as it is being the right person.

It was like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.

I think to compare Germany to the Third Reich is utterly ludicrous.

We accept that sometimes in difficult circumstances, difficult things happen.
