With film acting, and often when the camera comes very close, you just have to think about something and the camera will pick it up.

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

We'll always have art, darling.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I'm crap at lying. I go bright red.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's "scary."

Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.

I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.

If it's ka it'll come like a wind, and your plans will stand before it no more than a barn before a cyclone

Limitlessness is the emotion that sunny mornings evoke in me now. A new appreciation for the present moment, untainted by the past or unknown future.

You don't send a man to his death because you want a hero.

The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet.

If you wait till you're very sure, then you'll find yourself doing it, and when you do there'll be an ease.

Every blue-stocking will remain a spinster as long as there are sensible men on the earth. [Fr., Toute fille lettree restera fille toute sa vie, quand il n'y aura que des hommes senses sur la terre.]

When a person gets right with God, my eyes are upward...I'm poor in spirit. I'm spiritually bankrupt.

Every few years something new breaks into the circle of my thoughts.

Like the child, the creative writing student is posited as a centre of vulnerable creativity, needful of attention and authority.

Practically, the desirable situation ought to be one in which any reasonably responsible person willing to accept available employment can find a job paying a living wage within 48 hours.
