I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

I think referendums are fantastic as long as the question is phrased in a way which is not meant to deliberately confuse or confound people.

People who say, 'There's nothing to fear from spiders' have clearly never been to Australia.

If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.

I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.

The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.

I love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.

I think we should all feel lucky and blessed that people are still, in this day and age, getting in their cars with other people and driving to a location and paying money to sit in a theater and watch a play.

I think when something is apolitical and it gets politicised, then it's incredibly disappointing.

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 think good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people.

I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.

I think marriage is all about timing. Getting married is insanity; I mean, it's a risk - who knows if you're going to be together forever? But you both say, 'We're going to take this chance, in the same spirit.

I think often women can feel isolated and feel like they get into a rut and don't quite know how to get out of it.

I certainly think that when I flick through all the magazines at the hairdresser's I like to see and am drawn to images that have an intelligence and mind at work behind them.

I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.

There's plenty of girlfriend roles out there. They've come my way, and many people have turned them down, and I think, "Oh maybe I could do something with this." It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

Sometimes I think it's so good not to win those things. And, anyway, who wants to peak when they're 28?

One of my favorite moments is onstage, when you see a dancer leap, and you think they're flying, and then they fall. It's that moment of suspension that you look for, and sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't.

I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it; they just look different.

Lazy thinking is not creative or productive.

My husband wasn't put off by it - he thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as Dylan! He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face - it felt a bit odd! But I think he's used to it [the make-up process].

I never really think about my gender, first and foremost - until a door is closed to you. Until you can see a parallel opportunity with a man in a similar place in his career and you think, That opportunity is not open to me or my fellow actresses. That's interesting.
