“I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can’t have emails go through. It’s undisturbed.”

I just try to keep healthy more so than trying to be thin.

I kind of left everyone behind in Australia – all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend.

It’s fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.

Everyone’s like, ‘overnight sensation.’ It’s not overnight. It’s years of hard work.

I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me.

I try to remind myself that all of this could be over tomorrow, because I could wake up and magically be 35 feet tall and not be able to act in movies anymore.

I was in a movie for five minutes where I play tennis and I was given five tennis lessons for free. I never had a tennis lesson. I was like, that’s awesome! When else would I have taken up tennis?

Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.

I was always very dramatic – my family would probably use the word ‘dramatic’ – as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.

I don’t even know how to Direct Message someone on Instagram. I still write letters.

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

I think they’ve finally realized that women go to see movies as much as men do. Ticket sales are coming from them as well, so why not appeal to them? I think they’re finding a way.

I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I’m staying at a friend’s house or something. I’m very old school.

It does feel bizarre, having someone in your work space who’s so much younger than you.

I always dress kind of monochromatic and very simple and all that kind of stuff.

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people’s, if we are always criticizing trivial actions – which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.

You can not hope to arrive at harmony in your life while stirring up disturbances in anothers.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

Let nothing disturb you, / Nothing dismay you; / All things are passing: / God never changes.

Everything disturbs an absent lover.

For me, the most disturbing aspect of the Republican political culture is how it puts its unquenchable thirst for power, domination and a radical ideology above facts, reason and the truth.

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything – God alone suffices.
