I wanted to be in a Baz Luhrmann film. It's just extraordinary. He's so amazing at what he does. He makes the most incredible films.

I want to be in 'Glee,' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.

I never get recognised here in London, which I like. Once a year, someone comes up to me and asks if I am 'so-and-so's niece' because they think they recognise me from somewhere. I like that.

It's tricky playing people that you don't like and finding a way to empathise with them. It's challenging and very exciting for an actor.

I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.

I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.

I'm not great at having my picture taken and I don't enjoy that side of it very much but I enjoy being with my friends and it's nice to have a reunion.

Am I reserved? I think I agree with that. I don't think I'm particularly original. I am quite homey, though. But then I'm also quite transient. I quite like being nomadic.

The minute I get into a hotel room, I scatter my stuff everywhere. It's like a bomb site within a minute. So I suppose that means I'm trying to nest.

It's always harder to maintain raw enthusiasm or joy than to go into a really dark place.

I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.

You will realize one day that all the money in the world cannot buy you happiness. Nor can it make you a person of good character.

If men are so wicked with religion what would they be without it?

None of the constitutional, legal or other principles bars me from returning to the judiciary, since the judiciary remains independent if the actors remain independent and fair.

By the law of nature, there is no pleasure in suffering; but divine love, when it reigns in a heart, makes it take delight in its sufferings.

Movies don't necessarily change culture. I don't know if we know for sure if movies change culture but we know for sure that they reflect culture.

I've never understood multi-party democracy. It's hard enough with two parties.

Oh, the transition concerns me because as we move towards an important political event, it's clear to me that the terrorists and insurgents will move as hard as they can to disrupt this process.

I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide.

Seriousness is a sickness... Existense is pure playfulness

Those we dislike can do nothing to please us.
