My parents were so relaxed by the time I was growing up that I got away with a lot more.

I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it's on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I'm Australian, so I'm not too flashy or glitzy.

Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

I'm generally a people-pleaser so I get high anxiety from any sort of confrontation.

I was very, very shy when I was little. Acting lets you access all those different parts of yourself to make the character authentic.

God doesn't punish us.We do that all by ourselves.

The destiny of your land is in the hands of the church and her willingness to declare the position of God in the society

If she doesn't speak, she is making a choice. If she doesn't try, she can lose her chance forever. -An-mei

The little things are what is eternal, and the rest, all the rest, is brevity, extreme brevity.

My daughter, Anna, is almost 15, and my son, Ben, is almost 10.

C'mon, let's get real, real gone.

You live up - or down - to your expectations.

Believe in yourself when nobody else does.

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
