Show business is fickle, and though I have been blessed with a healthy career, who knows how long that will last?

I just love Bayonne. I love the parks. I love the pizzerias. I love the simple things in life, and it's all here.

When think about the Frank Oceans of the world, it's not like we don't have gay men within the hip-hop community.

I feel better. I feel hornier. I feel more womanly and more accomplished and prouder. [after having her daughter]

In Hollywood, most things are based on looks, so I'd love to do something that has nothing to do with how I look.

Norse mythology is mystifying and fantastic and totally confusing, but you can draw a lot of inspiration from it.

I was the youngest of nine siblings... I lost my father when I was just 13. For me, the elders have been my gods.

My parents always told me that you always want to be the worst of the best. If you are the best, you never learn.

I would love to meet Martin Luther King. His fearless attitude, leadership, and self-awareness changed our world.

Even when I was saying I was Agnostic and trying to figure out my thoughts, I felt God was allowing me to do that.

Ironically, there isn't much comedy film in Britain, which is quite surprising seeing that we're quite good at it.

Ever since the Greeks, we have been drunk with language! We have made a cage with words and shoved our God inside!

I have an incredible sense of direction, but London is confusing. It's a circle, but then it stops being a circle.

Both my mom and dad were quite supportive. They never ever stopped me in realizing my dreams in the film industry.

I've worked opposite so many male actors whose egos have been so delicate that it was just so hard to do the work.

I always wanted to be a model, never an actress. I would see children in ads and stuff and wanted to be like them.

I want people to look at my films and say 'Wow, she's a good actress', and I know I'll have to work hard for that.

I admire actors who are bold and try to go forward over the cliche and propose something original to the audience.

I'd love to play a villain in BBC drama 'Sherlock' - some sort of evil, slinky blonde would be right up my street.

The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree - those to me, are the scents of the holidays.

If I could pass along anything that my mother or my sisters taught me, I feel like my kids would be very well off.

I tend not to worry about things I can't do anything about. It's not in my nature to spend too much time thinking.

It's all kind of just all of us coming together and all lending a hand on what we think will make it a good movie.

I'm really a sucker for old, old movies. Like old film noir. I don't know. I also really enjoy independent movies.

On the one blind date I went on, I had a backup. If I texted you the code word, you call and say my dogs are sick.

I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.

There doesn't seem to be a religion in 'Game of Thrones' that's totally peaceful... we haven't seen any Buddhists.

I couldn't be luckier to wake up every morning and be so excited to get to work, even if it's five in the morning.

I'm in love with everything about show business. The only thing that ever came easy to me in life has been acting.

The soul is a muscle, and it needs to be exercised a little every day. Say a morning prayer just to say something.

While other girls swooned over The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, I worshipped Rudolf Nureyev and Isadora Duncan.

I believe a lot in the relationship between performers. When you're supported by someone's eyes, you're not alone.

I didn’t want people to decide what I was going to wear and what I was going to look like and how I should behave.

I didn't want people to decide what I was going to wear and what I was going to look like and how I should behave.

I have a really hard time watching my sister act in anything, but especially anything where it's a strong emotion.

It's rough to feel creatively satisfied, as an actor, for the most part, because you don't initiate your own work.

My family are doctors and pilots and people involved in indigenous First Nation land rights; not overtly artistic.

When I am told that I am a huge star, I accept it, knowing that success is relative - the films I do have to work.

I always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. I felt like I should've been born in the mid-to-late '40s.

The body is an actor's tool, like the face, malleable. I never thought that being naked was immoral or outrageous.

I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows, that's how I learned.

It's weird because I always seem to be dead. I'm gonna have to change that because I wouldn't want to be typecast.

Every woman should try a Brazilian wax once. And then the sex they have afterward will make them keep coming back!

I didn't grow up in a home that glorified Hollywood. We didn't watch TV. We didn't have a lot of magazines around.

Every other 16-year-old girl wanted to look at bridal magazines; I could not have been more bored with the notion.

It's very joyful to be in a productive, creative mood, but I find a lot of joy in learning and being told stories.

Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.

Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.

We cannot calculate the numbers of people who left, fled or were fished out of Europe just ahead of the Holocaust.

I love Miami; I miss it so much. I miss the beach, the peace it brings you. I love the sound and smell of the sea.
