I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's "scary."

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

We'll always have art, darling.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I'm crap at lying. I go bright red.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.

I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.

I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.

I don't know about writing. It's quite lonely. You have to have a lot of patience with yourself.

Yes, but none of them can steal my ship.None of them are smart enough to know that it was the right thing to do at the time.

After God and my family, it's surf. I don't imagine me not surfing. Surf brings me smile every day.

For a certain type of woman who risks losing her identity in a man, there are all those questions . . . until you get to the point and know that you really are living a love story.

I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.

It is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed.

If we are not trusted, we have no business.

You've got to be actively involved in the process yourself and you've got to listen carefully to what the coach is saying, take that on board yourself and implement what the coach is saying.

Poetry ... ... a place for the genuine, Hands that can grasp, eyes that can dilate, hair that can rise

I hate being told I can't do something because I'm a girl!

Guantanamo Bay is the anti-Statue of Liberty.
