I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.

I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.

Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered.

If I wake up during a dream I can usually go back to sleep and finish the story.

I am not very good at expressing myself in a simple way so it can create mis-understandings and I hate that.

Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.

You have to invest if you want to restore balance to the world.

I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.

That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me.

I think that when you don't see the boundaries, you cross them without even knowing they exist in the first place.

I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given. Children orientate towards examples. That's why I talk solely positive about my body in front of my daughter.

Mum and dad were very much friends, and up to life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up, they just taught me to be me.

I'm often moved by the circumstances around some of my characters, but I don't think I've actually cried watching myself.

I've never understood the notion that actors and actresses should look great on-screen just because they're on-screen. That doesn't make sense to me.

I suffered from 'No one will ever fancy me!' syndrome, well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not.

I have just wanted to be an actress. That's always been my goal. I didn't want to be famous.

As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

There's something really empowering about going, 'Hell, I can do this! I can do this all!' That's the wonderful thing about mothers, you can because you must, and you just DO.

Many roads to take some to joy some to heart ache
