I’m drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.
Who wants to be normal when you can be unique?
Journalists are always calling my features Edwardian or Victorian, whatever that means. I am small, and people were smaller in those times. I’m pale and sickly-looking. I look fragile-like a doll. But sometimes I just wish I had less of a particular look, one that was more versatile.
Imperfection is underrated. Perfection is overrated.
I’ve aged, but I don’t think I’ve grown up.
Sometimes I get it right and I sometimes I get it wrong. But fashion is all about having fun. I think fashion has been hijacked by the fashion industry creating rules on what one should wear and I feel like breaking the mold and seeing that the world won’t crumble.
No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama.
I’m not dead and I don’t have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it’s fine. I think it’s beautiful and a real work of art.
Multitasking? I can’t even do two things at once. I can’t even do one thing at once.
A film actor is just a victim of directors and editors.
That’s the thing with animated films – I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.
Famous people come up to me, but I don’t know who they are because my sight is so bad. It’s always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don’t have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.
I should get a few ribs taken out, because I’ll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
If you’re a queen, you’re powerless, so I’d probably demote myself and go shopping.
But it’s often been the case, I’ve done so many countless small, independent films that really 3.2 people have seen, so you never know. You do it for the joy of the part and not necessarily expect anyone to see the final product.
I enjoy those small chats you have when people come up and talk to you about your work. It only involves a few seconds of effort to be nice to those people, and I am very grateful for the kind words that people have taken the trouble to express to me in person.
It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights.
Falling in love with him was completely unexpected. When you only see someone as a friend, you don’t expect anything else. There was definitely a moment when something quite magical happened and we both agree that it transformed our relationship.
Mothers are the heart of any household. I try to spend as much time with my children as I possibly can while also fulfilling my professional duties. It is tricky, but I think I manage it.
I love changing what I look like because I always feel super strange whenever I do watch something that I’m in.
