I don't think you should feel guilty about pleasure. Defeats the purpose.

There's nothing more exciting for an actor than a chance to lose, to be someone who has lost - especially if it's someone who starts off with a veneer of control. To be broken is wonderful.

I am very much a seat-of-the-pants actor. I will prepare when I have to. But I like being unprepared.

There's a perceived inverse relation between looks and talent. Look at Charlize Theron - she made herself ugly for 'Monster' and suddenly everyone said 'she's a genius.' It shouldn't be like that.

People do seem to think that I'm going to be some wicked witch, and then they're always surprised to find out I'm just a little clumsy nerd.

I worked in Tesco's staff canteen because I fancied a boy on the tills. I served him his lunch in a hairnet and tan tights. Not just that, of course - I had a lovely white onesie.

I love being physical, but I am extreme either way. I can be superfit. And then I can be really lazy and ignore everything.

I do what I do; I cant control who thinks what.

I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career.

I'm sort of like a T. rex in the world of female actresses. Every time a job is finished, I look at my car and think, 'Could I live in it?

I think I cry when I'm angry. I let it go that way.

They always always understimate women

A big reason why I started writing is I felt that fiction had stopped evolving. All other entertainments were getting better, constantly, as technology allowed. Movies. Video games. Music.

Have a holly jolly Christmas!

A genuine transformation that results from sustained concerted effort is long lasting because it has a firm foundation.

I am really glad women are speaking out.

My first film, 'Vanishing on 7th Street,' I really just kinda went in for it. Just gave it my all at the auditions.

Your life may have taken a detour, but God is still on the throne. He has brought you this far, and sooner or later, your peace will be restored.

Your love has a broken wing if it cannot fly across the sea.

The true beauty of music is that it connects people.

An open mind is the secret in making friends.
