“I believe acting truly is harnessing the power of belief.”

The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We’re not running the same race. It’s like we’re all doing different sports in fact.

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

I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices – it reflects on who I am.

I believe that whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stronger.

I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.

I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple; its loneliness.

I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.

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.

No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.

Even if there was a hand, it was the hand of God.

Speculations? I have none. I am resting on certainties.

Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering ‘it will be happier’.

Be patient with yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Know that all things are working in your favor. If you take one step toward the light of Spirit, Spirit will take five steps on your behalf.

Physics is the belief that a simple and consistent description of nature is possible.

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

Never will He hold your hand more tightly than when He is leading you through the dark.
