It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

The size of a studio film lets you see technology in a way that you wouldn't on an independent film, like the gadgets and the angles and all that.

What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.

You don't always have to look in the distance for what's going on over there, when you actually see what's right in front of you.

On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

I'm not someone who doesn't want to see the films, but I like to see them as an end product when the whole nuance of the character is put together.

When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.

That's the great thing about the 'Sin City' movies. Each little slot is incredibly meaningful, and each character has their own moment.

I deserved better than to be bullshitted by the vice president.

Knowledge is the accumulation of information whereas intelligence is one's ability to process information to render good decisions.

I feel like I could eat the world raw.

It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care.

You never know what your opportunities are going to be.

The world exists to set us free.

We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
