“Harry Potter is not twilight, you know; we’re not selling sex.”

I really want to write a novel. I also want to learn to play the mandolin.

Rape is not just a physical, violent act perpetrated against one victim, it is an assault on humanity.

It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments, and in our workplaces.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I’ll never please everyone.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.

I keep telling myself that I’m a human being, an imperfect human being who’s not made to look like a doll.

I like books that aren’t just lovely but that have memories in themselves.

I’ll be proud to say my country is committed to preventing violence against women.

The less you reveal, the more people can wonder.

Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. It’s often not cool to be the person who puts themselves out there.

I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

Black Lives Matter and women’s voices are a vital part of any movement for change.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s really just to stop trying to find answers and certainties.

Believe in yourself and go for it.

Women share this planet 50/50 and they are underrepresented, their potential astonishingly untapped.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

I would love to do a movie naked; it would be beautiful. No one dares make that kind of film today. They did it in the 1930s in an arty way, so why not now?

Every practice, every film session, every game will help our chemistry.

Hollywood is the most superficial thing you could possibly be a part of and if I weren’t attractive I wouldn’t be working at all.

I have a love interest in every one of my films – a gun.

Music is like film to me.

I find his films about as funny as getting an arrow through the neck and discovering there’s a gas bill tied to it.

My personal problem is that I take the business of film-making so seriously that I find it very difficult to relax.
