“I think working in the industry, I’d be pretty nervous to have a celebrity crush.”

[Christian from the Fifty Shades Darker] is definitely a good person. I mean, he’s flawed like all of us, you know? And I guess all of his wounds or his trauma, he acts out sexually. Which is pretty normal. People have different wounds, people act different things out.

All the photographers were trying to just get me off, which was hilarious. But it was very, very amusing.

I think for me, home needs to be a sanctuary. I need to feel like I’ve escaped the day when I get home.

Particularly on social media, there is that level of detachment, some people feel like they can say whatever pops in their head .

I’m always listening to music to pump myself up.

I definitely don’t get recognized so I don’t have to deal with that.

I think the thriller aspect of this film [Fifty Shades Darker] is what excited me most.

I did get a letter which was pretty alarming once. Well, it was sent to the Fifty Shades production office. And it was pretty … I’d say interesting. I don’t really want to go into that. But otherwise the response has been good, thankfully.

I did dancing and singing when I was little, and then when I was 12 years old my friends were taking speech and drama at school. They were private lessons, and I started doing that. Over the years everyone else dropped out and I just kept going. I loved it.

In Australia, everyone gets a nickname and people started calling me “Izzy” and I hated it so I just adopted Bella.

I was always into performing and dancing as a kid and acting was a safe place to have all my feelings, which is good as a child.

I’m just a psycho myself. I loved playing Leila [from Fifty Shades Darker], taking on [a character] who’s completely unhinged. I saw her as a girl who’s grief-stricken and she just doesn’t have the tools to cope. Grief and heartbreak, it makes you do some pretty crazy things.

I think there is something about L.A., fortunately: once you get one role people think, ‘Oh well, someone employed her, so maybe we can.’ I mean, that’s my idea of it, anyway. ‘She can put one foot in front of the other and say a line.’

I collect skulls; I think that a beautiful skull is a really good gift for a guy.

I think working in the industry, I’d be pretty nervous to have a celebrity crush. I’d be pretty nervous if my boyfriend did as well because inevitably you’d end up working with them and then it would feel very suspicious.

All my stuff is men’s fashion. It’s always oversized shirts, boyfriend blazers and trousers.

You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.

I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

Just being satisfied with Him and nothing else, immediately you scent the fragrance. There is a savor of the Lord. Something has been crushed, something has been broken, and there is a resulting odor of sweetness.

Large areas of the Gulf have escaped being scraped by trawls, crushed by more than 40,000 miles of pipelines, or displaced by one of 50,000 oil and gas wells drilled since the middle of the 20th century. Some places have been deliberately protected.

The prevailing system of management has crushed fun out of the workplace.

I had a babysitter when I was 12 or younger. I had a big crush on her.

Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.

When God wants to do an impossible task, he takes an impossible man, and he crushes him.
