I always play girls who are quite traumatised, or a plain girl, but I'm happy with that.

I really enjoy dressing up. I'm pretty much a girlie girl.

It's nice to bring the changes with everything you do. As an actor, that's what you want to do, all the time.

If you're wearing something I like, I will come over and ask where you got it from. I'm not shy!

I've rarely played glamorous roles. I don't mind looking plain on camera.

I use mainly products by Dermalogica. They have specialized formulas to target specific skin needs, which I like. It works well for my sensitive skin.

Ill-fitted T-shirts stretched over a gut are my pet hate. And if the colour's faded - ugh.

I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I'm not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones.

I want the chance to play very different characters, and I've always wanted to do more films.

When I'm filming I live out of a suitcase, so everything is thrown everywhere. In real life, I'm a bit tidier.

As an actor, or as a person, I like to do things that are challenging.

My grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the desert.

People always fear what they don't understand, Evangeline. History proves that.

Science and art belong to the whole world and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.

The desert sharpened the sweet ache of his longing, amplified it, gave shape to it in sere geology and clean slant of light.

Liberal education reminds those members of a mass democracy who have ears to hear, of human greatness.

Architecture is either the prophecy of an unformed society or the tomb of a finished one.

forgive yourself for what you aren't able to do, the ones who aren't able to acknowledge their ownselves are bound to fail

People are thrown off by someone who looks feminine, but is also strong. It's not that pretty girls aren't smart, it's that women aren't strong.

A maxim is a conclusion upon observation of matters of fact, and is merely speculative; a "principle" carries knowledge within itself, and is prospective.

Dressing effectively is a kind of excellent manners.
