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.

Any industry loses its innovation and loses its access to creative juices if you don't have progressive thinking and diversity.

The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'

I think the terrifying thing is you see all these people who go to the same cosmetic surgeon, and they end up, after a while, looking like everyone.

I think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.

I'm not interested in playing characters who see the world through my prism. I think the journey of understanding any character is to see how they tick and how they differ from you.

People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.

I think when you fall in love, whether you're heterosexual, transgender, gay, lesbian, whatever, straight, you feel like it's happening to you for the first time.

I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.

I think we should stop drinking bottled water. There's no need to be drinking it if you're living in western communities.

Look, it's one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I'm vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don't know.

I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.

I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?

I'm not focused on what other people think of me.

I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.

I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.

For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.

Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.

“I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.”

“I'm not focused on what other people think of me.”

“I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.”

“Time and Space are not prior to creation, they are forms under which creation becomes thinkable.”

“Statistically speaking, home is an even more dangerous place for women than the road.”
