“In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.”

I’m shy. People get confused. They think as an actor you can get up and be confident on the screen. Why aren’t you like this in normal life? Why can’t you act in your social life? ‘Because I can’t!’

I believe acting truly is harnessing the power of belief.

A little fight in you. I like that.

I wasn’t going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

The Australian sense of humor is very dry, sarcastic, and very undercover. Like if I tell any jokes in America, people just think I’m serious! So I just quit telling any jokes whatsoever.

It’s odd, that’s why I don’t like telling people I played field hockey. It’s real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, ‘Oh, you girl!’

May I ask your name, my lady? Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces.

I feel like I’ve never been in a film that people have liked before.

But the paparazzi are quite malicious and vocal and really rude, … And they camped outside of my house, so I started throwing eggs at them, lobbing them at rocks next to them.

It’s like anything in life, visualizing the old man you’re going to become: As long as you have a clear picture of that – the life you want to lead – eventually you’ll probably get there.

Does it depress you? To know just how alone you really are?

I’m not a big fan of western movies and I really don’t like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them.

You see, in their last moments people show you who they really are.

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.

I’m kind of addicted to moving.

I am not a public speaker and never will be.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

It’s not the absence of fear. It’s overcoming it. Sometimes you’ve got to blast through and have faith.

Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.

Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.

Forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear.

Life begins where fear ends.

Our weaknesses, insecurities, fears and self-doubt make all of us want to hide.

Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.
