I sort of fall in love with every character I do; you have to understand how they became what they've become, whether they're the ugly kind or the very beautiful kinds of characters.

You only do good work when you're taking risks and pushing yourself.

You think that adulthood will hit and you'll suddenly be more capable. But that doesn't happen, ever, does it?

My knees buckled. It's the last thing I expected

My feet are like something from another age - prehistoric and troll-like. I keep expecting them to talk, they have that much character.

I love acting but I also love writing, especially comedy.

You can't be a woman and not be a feminist, I don't think. If you care about the world and the world you exist in and your rights.

I'll try and get through as much as my voice and nerves and knees will let me.

I never come away from a film thinking I nailed it.

I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.

I'm quite an optimist, quite happy in life, quite smiley.

The magic is over, but its effects will live forever.

But I've bought a big bat.I'm all ready, you see.Now my troubles are goingTo have trouble with me!

A stranger's eyes see clearest.

Welcome as the flowers in May.

Life is sustained by the grinding opposition of moral entities.

Jigging veins of rhyming mother wits.

Beware of spitting against the wind!

Only within yourself exists that other reality for which you long.

For me especially, I always need that literature medium.

I'm much pickier about what I put in my body. I always read labels now, whereas before I didn't even think to.
