My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
The great thing about theater is that when it's great, you'll remember it for the rest of your life. But if you go see ten shows, you'll only get five - if you're lucky - that'll give you that experience. But the rest, at the very least, will be interesting.
I think probably winning these things [an Oscar] can be a bit of a curse depending on who you are and how you think. But I haven't been on a journey to get anywhere in particular, so that hasn't changed. And my criteria for choosing projects hasn't changed.
Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.
Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.
Being on stage a lot is quite physical.
My husband keeps me really honest.
I've got a funny old face. Someone described it once, and I think they were being kind, as character. But I know what they mean! I've never been that conventional. I suppose maybe it means that my face can look different in different lights, so I just try and sort of keep it simple when I'm going out, to still look like me.
I live my life parallel with my work, and they are both equally important. I'm always amazed how much people talk about celebrity and fame. I don't understand the attraction.
In the current climate, things that are true, brave human stories become political.
Absolutely, I think that is where a scent is so powerful because it harnesses our memory and our memory is a very emotional place. I do like the smell of excitement.
My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple.
I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
I love theatre - it's where I started - and I've directed a play myself. I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'
I'm a horrible person. And it's just coming out in my work.
I'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.
You will not leave the theater with nothing to talk about. For me, comedy and tragedy when you get them both in one evening, that's the most satisfying.
It seems like people increasingly just can't be by themselves because they're so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn't mean anything.
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly.
I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.
I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.
When you're onstage, you're acutely aware of the reaction of a particular group of people, because it's like a wave.
