I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.

Plus, doing a zombie movie is quite liberating. It's fun not to take myself seriously all the time.

My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.

I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.

It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

Some of the funniest moments I've ever experienced have been in the midst of tragic situations in my life.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

There is no point trying to figure out who is guilty or not at un-balancing the planet. I think we need to figure out and solve the problems together and not isolate from each other.

I think that we need to get along together if we want to survive in the twenty-first century.

Working with plants will teach you all other social commitments in a soothing way...

Faith is not blind when you consistently take the right actions to reveal it.

When you're working well, you don't do research. Whatever you need comes to you.

If you change the rules on what controls you... you will change the rules on what you can control.

We've seen a great deal of interest from the Occupy movement. It's a diverse movement, not everyone embraces electoral politics, and no one can speak for Occupy.

I think that the special thing about radio is the off switch. If something's not pleasing you, turn it off.

I keep to a minimum dialect, in-jokes about football (soccer) teams and soap opera characters, so as not to lose North American readers.

I enjoy shopping and going on holiday.

The heart that has truly loved never forgets.
