My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

Plus, doing a zombie movie is quite liberating. It's fun not to take myself seriously all the time.

Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.

I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.

It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.

Some of the funniest moments I've ever experienced have been in the midst of tragic situations in my life.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

There is no point trying to figure out who is guilty or not at un-balancing the planet. I think we need to figure out and solve the problems together and not isolate from each other.

I think that we need to get along together if we want to survive in the twenty-first century.

When comfort and ease and pleasure are put ahead of duty and conviction, progress is always set back.

Fate is never fair. You are caught in a current much stronger than you are

I'm not cruisin' this opportunity in time and space for you to like or dislike my 'get-down'

One does not have the right to criticize until he can do the same work without being criticized

Above all, don't fear difficult moments. The best comes from them.

To play Bond, though, and then for the world to perceive you in a certain way, is very different from playing Superman. Bond is not this ideal figure.

I'd love to play a femme fatale. And I wouldn't mind working with George Clooney.

I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.

No one likes the fellow who is all rogue, but we'll forgive him almost anything if there is warmth of human sympathy underneath his rogueries. The immortal types of comedy are just such men.
