I love TV as a viewer.

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.

Use your greatness, love, and kindness to change the world.

If you try to test a river’s depths with both feet, you will drown.

Don't envy what people have, emulate what they did to have it.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

All my life I've had the privilege to make my living with my imagination, and the most important thing has been to see my creative life grow. I was educated to do that and have lived accordingly.

The trouble with law is lawyers.

I'm a complete supporter of Obama and kind of in love with him.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
