I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.
The more we mask ourselves, the freer we're able to be within ourselves.
To not make any resolutions. Whenever I make them, I wind up ultimately breaking them. I think a lot of people are that way, so I am going to try and avoid inevitable disappointment next year and just not make any.
There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.
It's always better just to do work that you're really proud of and work that you enjoy because really all you have are the choices you make and that's it and who knows after that. I think that's what I love in acting.
I love ambiguity. People are that way. People are very hard to work out. No one is just strong or just fragile, or anything like that.
It's quite hard to faze me. I'm fairly un-shockable.
It's nerve-wracking singing in front of people. I think that's why most people get drunk for karaoke.
I've always been quite a spontaneous person, so I would lean more towards, if you feel it and you know its right, then do it.
When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.
I was never a girl that dreamt of being a princess and I never dreamt about my wedding day. I hated pink and I hated fairies. I only liked hanging out with boys. I remember throwing a tantrum if my mum put me in pink. I wasn't a particularly girly girl.
Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.
My personal feeling is that audiences are crying out for stories they can invest in and feel. I see a lot of big movies that leave me feeling rather numb.
People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.
I think a lot of people want to, at some point in their life, be someone else, run away and escape, in some way. We actors do get to do it. We have a job that allows for that. We have an outlet for it.
My objective is that I don't try to do the same thing. I try not to emulate something I've done before. And, I'm a real people watcher, so I like trying to play characters that are as diverse from each other as possible, simply because it's more fun for me, actually.
I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
I want to find something really wonderful to do next and take my time to search through the dearth of great material, especially for women.
A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
If you can capture the humanity of a family struggling in an economic crisis you can make a difference. You can raise awareness just of the simple humanity.
Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year, but marriage is certainly easier if you are open, trusting and loving.
I'm such a diva on set.
I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.
I'm with someone who makes me incredibly happy. I'm not one of those people who subscribes to the idea that marriage takes the romance out of things. I think it gets better, it deepens. I love being a wife. We have a blast.
