At the end of the day, I'd much rather do a piece about people in a story that I find riveting and intriguing and moving, versus really carrying some kind of heavy political agenda on my sleeve. That's not who I am.

We just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way.

I want my son to grow up with a mom that he could see and look at her life with all the mistakes and with all the failures and all the flaws and say, My mom lived an authentic life. That was the life she wanted to live.

And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.

I think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.

If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.

I am South African and I am so aware, even as a white, privileged South African, that even within our community of privilege the idea of talking about sex or sexual preference or sexual identity or anything like that was just, nobody ever did that and nobody ever felt comfortable doing that.

Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.

I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'

People always say to me, What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies. And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.

I've tried most of my career to transform myself towards characters.

I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not.

You are only as great as the opportunities that are given to you.

I am going home and I think in a week or so, hopefully, I'll be done with all the press stuff, and then I can kind of into my cave and start preparing for Mad Max.

You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.

I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
