I think, for me, I'm always more interested in the process of making the movie than the movie itself

I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!

I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.

I don't want to be about the way I look - my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.

I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.

When I go home, everyone's very proud. I get recognized the most when I go back to my hometown, but it's in a really sweet way. They're just very proud and supportive.

I've never understood people that sleep around. I think there's something very lacking in your life when you do, not to be judgmental.

I have this attitude to life that is not to take anything too seriously and not worry about anything, and when I met him I wasn't too nervous and I was being myself.

My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.

I was quite naughty at school.

I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.

Success is messy. But so is life. Deal with it. Poverty is messier.

I no longer fear battles and storms that come in the path but afraid of losing someone that is dear to my heart, to whom without winning battles and passing through storms means nothing to me.

God may turn his ears from prattling prayers or preaching prayers but never from penitent believing prayers.

Christmas in L.A. is weird. There's no snow. It's not even cold.

The planet's survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble.

Yesterday the flame of the Olympic torch was carried through our great state on its way to Salt Lake City.

Most people want their representatives to get something done.

To me, love isn't all. I must look up, not down, trust and honor with my whole heart, and find strenght and integrity to lean on

Humility has such power. Apologies can disarm arguments. Contrition can defuse rage. Olive branches do more good than battle axes ever will.

The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist.
