The emoji still doesn't really speak to the complexity that actually - or the subtext that goes on between when people actually speak face-to-face.

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'm not interested in saying what people should and shouldn't do. It depends on how people feel about themselves. I suppose personally if you do anything out of fear or to mask who you are, then that's a bit scary. You've got to work with what you got....

In my career, I thought I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular. I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.

You're always more critical of your own country. People will talk about stuff in Britain, and I'll go: 'Aw, it's not that bad,' but at home, it's different. It's inside you.

That's why so many people want to play Hamlet: because it's a completely demarked role, and the actor playing it has to be prepared, through the language, to allow the audience to see into who he is.

Fine-tuning a play like 'Uncle Vanya,' which is already well-known to the people playing it, is not so much a verbal exercise as it is a visceral one.

People tend to look great if they feel great.

A lot of people are frightened by old age - by being around people who are, basically, on their way out - but I'm fascinated by it. It's an amazing thing to be around someone who has had a life well lived.

When you're onstage, you're acutely aware of the reaction of a particular group of people, because it's like a wave.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Women have been doing very, very strange things for centuries. I mean ancient Egyptians were already doing that, but I don't necessarily judge people who do. I don't really think it makes people look better; 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].

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 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.

To those who voted for me, thank you. And to those who didn't, better luck next year!”
