Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.

I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.

I read a lot of books. So, usually when I go home I try to re-charge my batteries and absorb new stories to become inspired again.

Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three.

Feminism is just about equality, really, and there's so much stuff attached to the word, when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.

I'm a huge sucker for comfort.

It's hard to tell what people realize. Everybody's different and has a different understanding of the difference in times.

I hate the feeling when I'm overseas, away from Australia, that I'm trapped, blocked by an ocean from getting to the people I love. That gives me anxiety.

You definitely put a bit of yourself in every character, and you always have to have an understanding and empathy for the person that you play.

To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.

We allow each other to pursue our goals. I wouldn't want to be married to someone who was not happy with what they were doing with their life and Bono wouldn't either.

Study as if you have not reached your goal - hold it as if you were afraid of losing what you have.

Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life.

Dennis Thatcher, husband of Margaret Thatcher, when asked who wore the pants in his house, said "I do, and I also wash and iron them." I only like two kinds of men; domestic and foreign.

No one knows what makes the soul wake up so happy! Maybe a dawn breeze has blown the veil from the face of God.

The old notion that brevity is the essence of wit has succumbed to the modern idea that tedium is the essence of quality.

My books are friends that never fail me.

You don't know where a sport can take you, so I want to make sure that I have an education behind me in case things don't work out.
