The things I wanted to do from a very early age - ie. get married and have children - precluded a lot of guys my own age from wanting to have anything to do with me.
2
My wide eyes make me look much younger without make-up, and although it's fun to have a line in innocence corrupted, I doubt I'll get to play the vampy vixen or a Hedda Gabler or Lady Macbeth.

Yoga is the one L.A. thing I actually like.

There's a real power in heels and a good dress.

I went to quite an academic school, and all my friends were going to university, but even before my acting jobs, I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to spend another three years being institutionalised, and I feel that getting out of that system benefited me in quite a few ways.

I'm terrified I'm about to die, or that all the people I love are about to die, every second of every day.

I'm not some sort of tormented soul looking for an identity in the roles I take. I became an actress because I just love dressing up and playing.
8
I think I was a pretty normal student; I just followed most of my friends.

I used to ride horses when I was younger. Ponies were my life. I miss being fearless.
10
I have an obsession with mortality. I saw a friend die when I was 18, and I can't get over it.
11
I have a checklist of things I'd like to do in movies. One of them is get possessed. Die on a deathbed with a ghostly pallor - that's on my list.
12
Dark matter is interesting. Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. There's whole swathes of stuff we can't account for.
13
As a child, I loved story books and wanted to be in them so desperately and live the stories.
14
Acting is an odd lifestyle. You make deep bonds quickly and, though you move on, you go around on a loop and see people again.
15
Men are visual creatures.
16
Along with issues like global warming, I think a problem with the world today is population decline.
17
I was a real daydreamer at school, gazing out of the window and losing myself in imaginary worlds.
18
I would literally do anything for Richard Curtis. Anything.
19
I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.

Initially, I studied philosophy, because it claimed to give you answers to the meaning of existence, but it didn't: It was basically a semantics game.
21
St. Trinian's (2007) is probably taking it to the extreme, but in essence it's saying, "If you be yourself, you can do whatever you want", and it's sort of a fun message.
