Now learning a bit more about footballers I think what they need to do well, is someone who really wants to stay in the background and just be a strong support.

For me personally, everything is on a kiss.

It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

You can see when an actor gets bored: Their eyes go dead. I promised myself I'd never let that happen. If it does, I'll go and live on a desert island for a year.

These women need to feel that we're all aware of what they may be going through, to give them the confidence to speak out.

It's so important to raise awareness of this problem that continues to affect 1 in 4 women at some point in their lifetime, regardless of career, wealth or background.

I have the most lovely, healthy bouncing baby, she was all very compact and the right size.

When I was younger I thought I'd meet the man of my dreams, get married and have a child, but it all went higgledy-piggledy. Never say never, though.

And the most important thing - apart from telling a good, believable story, and being a true character - is to be someone the audience will care about, even if you're playing a murderer or rapist.

When you're given something new, it's always exciting 'cause you're the first one to do it. You're not having to live up to any expectations, or be compared to anyone who's ever done it before.

Gratitude is an overflowing joy.

When I got started again, I drove slower and felt smaller. I think it does us all good to get looked at like that now and then by a wild animal.

Life is the music of your soul

Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.

America has an immense amount of power, but it doesn't use it in any benevolent way. It uses it to maintain a status quo.

I just had to plod along without having any teaching, which was a pity.

I can't complain. I'm making a living out of what I do, which is really rare for a lot of actors. The hard part is staying confident and staying with it.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.

Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.

We are striking it big in the electric light, better than my vivid imagination first conceived. Where this thing is going to stop Lord only knows.
