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

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

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.

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.

It's easy to follow national politics and weigh in on social media, but if I'm tweeting stuff about Chatham County, no one cares.

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

Because the truth of God is love, conversion to God is conversion to love.

A film star is a kind of public monument, and everyone's staring at them, and they've kind of got railings around them, and they're rather miserable most of the time.

I like all films whether it's dark or light, love, hate, whatever it is, I enjoy it.
