My preparation for roles are less about the character's profession than who they are, what their dreams are, and in what way are they childish.

I'm in Stockholm in my office. I just got here after seeing my eighth child on an ultrasound, so I'm in a good mood. It's beautiful: an energetic little skeleton.

There is no overacting, only untrue acting.

Unfortunately, the way the world is constructed, a lot of people have no chance, from day one.

I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again.

I treat everyone as equals. I can't work if I'm not having fun, and I can't have fun if not everyone is happy.

if a real God were actually so vain as to constantly demand worship, then he would not be worth it.

We don't live. We're miming in the choir.

Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and it doesn't work. It's a combination of all of the elements.

Theres nothing more reassuring than a world thats crazier than you are.

Even the most despicable person is still a human being.

You know you've reached rock bottom when you're standing on the beach, looking to the horizon, and you don't notice you'r ankle-deep in dead fish.

I will no longer argue with the senseless and unreasonable

Faith moves mountains, but you have to keep pushing while you are praying.

You need to eat normally and healthfully, and you need to exercise. I'm so passionate about this because I think people spend their lives not happy in their bodies.

Until as women we all say, No! We are not going to starve ourselves, nothing is going to change. We're our own worse enemies sometimes but I still blame men.

We've got a lot to gain and nothing to lose.

I’m not afraid, but I’m very nervous.

Is it not monstrous that our seducers should be our accusers?

If the truth were to be known, everyone would be wearing a scarlet letter of one form or another.

Being an actor is a religious calling because you've been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition.
