“In real life I’m the type of girl who doesn’t take herself too seriously. I’m very serious when it comes to work, but I like to make jokes and have a good laugh and make fun of myself.”

I come from a very sporty background because my mom is a gymnastics teacher. So growing up I was never sitting watching TV in the afternoons. I always played ball outside in the backyard.

I’m a person who loves people. It’s all about the vibe of the environment I’m working in.

I always tell myself that it is very, very important for me to be a good role model for Alma, my daughter.

Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.

I’m very open to all different genres because I’m a very open-minded girl.

The people who work in the fashion industry and the people who work in the film industry have a lot in common. They’re very creative. Their eye is very aesthetic.

When you play a character, you bring yourself into the character. You get a chance to shine and show your translation for the character and her state of mind.

I’ve never experienced a bad situation with men being sexist with me. I’ve been very lucky – even when I was just starting and modeling in Milan and Paris.

I’m a goofy girl. I like to laugh and I like to make other people laugh.

I didn’t want to do the obvious role that you see in Hollywood most of the time, which is the heartbroken girl who’s waiting to be rescued by the guy, blah, blah, blah. I wanted to do something different.

I do cardio, but I don’t like it as much. I’d rather do weights.

By the way, Wonder Woman is Amazonian, and historically accurate Amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I’d really go ‘by the book’ it’d be problematic.

For me especially, I travel a lot, and with the weather change and everything, my skin gets dehydrated very fast.

I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are ‘the poor heartbroken girl.’ That’s why I’m so proud of the Fast movies. I feel like Giselle is an empowering woman.

I just keep active – everything thats challenging me, everything that I feel like doing.

I try to eat healthy. But sometimes, though, I eat cheeseburgers. Thats good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water.

There is nothing more silly than a silly laugh.

Depression is a choice.

Americans think the only funny Brits are John Cleese, Benny Hill and whoever makes our toothpaste. They’re not laughing with us, they are laughing at us.

Parliaments have stopped laughing at woman suffrage, and politicians have begun to dodge! It is the inevitable premonition of coming victory.

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.

I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you’re emotions going.

Whatever my fate, I’ll go to it laughing.

With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn’t elicit laughter.
