If you act scared, your body produces adrenaline.

The idea that fear can manipulate people and you can use fear in the media to get what you want is happening right now. I think it has a lot of relevance between 2017 and 70's.

I don't like talking about myself, if I'm honest.

One of the great things about the 'Iron Man' franchise is that they employ fascinating actors who don't necessarily do action movies. Before 'Iron Man' you didn't associate Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow with those kinds of films. There's an emphasis on repartee and wit.

I think loads of people see acting, when they're kids, as these magical stories that just happen within the context of the film or the play or the cartoon or whatever they're seeing. They don't imagine that there are actually people that go and do that for a living.

We cannot talk with [animals] as we can with human beings, yet we can communicate with them on mental and emotional levels. They should, however, be accorded equality in that they should receive both compassion and respect it is unworthy of us to exploit them in any way.

Sometimes I can spend months doing things to make sure that my instincts work correctly, but ultimately it's still instinctive.

You don't get roles like leading character in 'Christine' very often because people don't really like women on film to be unlikable. I think Christine is lovable, but I don't think she's likable. I think there's a fundamental difference. For me, those are the richest ones. Men have had a career of doing those kind of things.

My childhood was very colourful, and I am very good friends with both my parents. We have no secrets.

I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.

A floor length backless black sequined dress would be my dream dress. As for my dream date - that would have to be a young Marlon Brando!
