“I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.”

I dig my heels in every now and then, and think ‘I’m not going to do what’s expected or what people think is the right thing.’ So I have a little bit of that in my personality.

I have a passion for my work, and that can seep into you. It’s almost as if you’re drawn to it.

I don’t believe in having body doubles for a film.

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into the theatre, I am really very shy.

Since I have fair skin, I have to stay out of the sun. I can’t stand the sun. I dyed my hair red for a while during the 1990s but I’m actually a natural blonde.

I believe in continuing to put love and kindness and compassion and art into the world.

I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it’s all very upfront. I can’t hide it. I’m also loyal and I hope I’m fun.

To appreciate the success you have to have had the failures. You have to accept that it is a journey and its not just tomorrow or the next day or next year.

Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I’m very medical. I come from a medical family.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people’s lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

You’ve got to find your bliss as a human being, because if you can follow that, everything else falls into place.

Ultimately, you’re left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.

I’m very much an admirer of people who are reaching for things and trying to survive.

Men don’t pay you for sex, they pay you to leave after sex.

Whatever you do in life, don’t give up on your own dreams.

~My instinct is to protect my children from pain. But adversity is often the thing that gives us character and backbone. It’s always been a struggle for me to back off and let my children go through difficult experiences.~

I wanted to take the audience on a journey where that transition was funny and awkward. It’s the same cynicism that [Strange] has.

I was never in an awkward position where I had to curb my manhood.

If youre in an awkward position, feel comfortable enough to walk away.

I didn’t realize I was in an awkward phase when I was in an awkward phase. It was when I was between the ages of 9 and 11. I was homeschooled.

Most days now his loss is a part of her, an awkward weight she carries around, invisible to everyone else, subtly altering the way she moves through the day. But today, the Anniversary of the day he died, is a day when all bets are off.

Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates.

The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow – so arbitrary are these transient laws.

I would’ve done when I was 16, like texting a really awkward “I like you” message to someone.
