We don't have enough young, female antiheroes. We don't accept women as antiheroes the way we do the men.

It's fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair.

Perfect is very boring, and if you happen to have a different look, that's a celebration of human nature, I think. If we were all symmetrical and perfect, life would be very dull.

I was a daydreamer as a kid. I want to act because of whatever artistic bone is in my body. I want to explore what it is to be alive. I just want to make good sh-t.

I know I'm not a conventional beauty. You can read a lot of painful things on the Internet, which criticise you aesthetically - but as far as I'm concerned, that's not what an actress is.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

I love architecture almost as much as I love my musicals.

It is an anomaly that information, the one thing most necessary to our survival as choosers of our own way, should be a commodity subject to the same merchandising rules as chewing gum.

Well I have a microphone and you don't so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!

It is worse than a crime, it is a blunder.

The Holy Koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent is as - it is as if he has killed all mankind.

I've made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you're bored. The boredom will show in your work.

I don't look back, no. Maybe when I'm older; people say, 'What's your favorite film?' I say, 'My next one.' I'm not interested in sitting around; I just don't, never have.
