My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple.

Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.

If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously.

I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.

I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.

I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

I don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.

I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.

The word 'circumnavigate' is quite a beautiful word.

To feel the joy of life, love what you do.

To repel one's cross is to make it heavier.

I support transitioning from the progressive tax to a flat tax system - both individual and corporate/business.

It gets tiring being a smartass.

We like to read others but we do not like to be read.

Either criticism is no good at all (a very defensible position) or else criticism means saying about an author the very things that would have made him jump out of his boots.

I was, like, just eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos and drinking, and that's it.

It's like soul music, isn't it all soul music? Otherwise what is it, non-soul music? I-have-no-soul music? Soulless music? People need to put a name on something to identify it, and I understand it.

Do not say to yourself, 'I am going to act this way tomorrow.' Just say to yourself - 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way NOW - for 30 minutes - today.'

Things happen they way they're meant to. There's a pattern and a shape to everything...Nothing happens without a reason...Nothing is impossible...(Page 180).
