“I was always very dramatic – my family would probably use the word ‘dramatic’ – as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.”

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

I think they’ve finally realized that women go to see movies as much as men do. Ticket sales are coming from them as well, so why not appeal to them? I think they’re finding a way.

I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I’m staying at a friend’s house or something. I’m very old school.

It does feel bizarre, having someone in your work space who’s so much younger than you.

I always dress kind of monochromatic and very simple and all that kind of stuff.

I make my friends pull up their profiles and I’m like, “Show me everything.”

Scent has become a way for me to differentiate characters.

I feel much more comfortable either up in a tree, or underwater. That’s where I feel the most zen.

Living in London, the water is really harsh, and my hair got so bad as soon as I moved there. But you can’t really avoid that.

The ’60s are my favorite decade – with the Cold War, the women’s movement. And then there’s the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair.

I’m so weak. The stronger I get the more training I’ll be able to do.

There are those who build careers and companies just out of being popular on Instagram, but theres nothing behind them.

When you look at movies, the lead girl is always gorgeous and thin. There is a stereotype that you need to look a certain way and when you get in the business you really feel the pressure.

When I’m not training for a role then I don’t really train.

I remember specific times and people in my life so much more clearly if I smell something that brings me back to them.

There is something about being people from your home country in a different country. It bonds you together.

If your children ever find out how lame you really are, they’ll murder you in your sleep.

As a mother, the one thing that always goes through your head is, You’re never enough. You never can be enough – or do enough – for your kids. It’s a never-ending issue for me.

Kids in sports – it makes such an impact in life with the lessons that you learn.

My parents never pushed me towards music. I feel like, growing up in a musical household and always being surrounded by it, I was always kind of a performer child. I remember my parents would have guests over, and they would bring their kids, and I would make sure that we were ready to put a show on.

All your children are poor unfortunate victims of systems beyond their control

We cannot teach children the danger of lying to men without feeling as men, the greater danger of lying to children.

What I do is so important to me. It’s like being a parent, in some ways, of a super-demanding , high-achieving child, with a cry that sounds really cool on the radio.

What is an adult? A child blown up by age.
