“I’ve been rapping since I was 18 years old, with a crew called Blades.”

I love love stories, no matter how dark.

In real life, I’m pretty much an eternal optimist.

A lot of people I make music with are really talented and it doesn’t stop at one instrument.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

I think it’s really important to live in the moment.

Because I don’t have a child and as much as you can sort of imagine it it’s always nice to hear from all different walks of life what motherhood is like and what that feels like. And particularly young mothers.

I’m a bit hyperactive as an actor, I like to keep moving.

I’m pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.

A female’s career as an actor is very different from a male’s career as an actor. That’s just the way it is. So, I’m fascinated by really strong male careers that have inspired me, and also really incredible male roles.

I’m a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice.

I had an amazing childhood.

I don’t see the point in working just to be working.

I’ve got heaps of dreams.

Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star.

Making a movie is, for me, like painting. I just enjoy the care that goes into every brushstroke and the choice of every color. I enjoy the intensity of it.

I’m portable. I carry a laptop and a little recording studio on my back.

Tories never actually talk about getting rid of their leader, then suddenly there us a flash of steel between he shoulder-blades and rigormortis sets in.

I write what I see, the endless procession to the guillotine. Were all lined up, waiting for the crunch of the blade…

How can one come to possess great faith? Now listen, here is the answer to that: First, the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Faith must grow by soil, moisture, and exercise.

You and I are just like a blade of grass sitting here; we are going to wither and die.

Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp god.

No blade can puncture the human heart like the well-chosen words of a spiteful son.

Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.

The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.
