More quotes by Rose Byrne
The actor's life, but also the Australian's life. We're wanderers. We like to walk about - we're curious people. I have felt that since I was a teenager.
Rose Byrne
Australians, we've got a very healthy sense of humor in us. God forbid we take ourselves too seriously so it's kind of a cultural trait.
Rose Byrne
You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it's on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I'm Australian, so I'm not too flashy or glitzy.
Rose Byrne
I have drive, for sure. You have to. It's a tough business there are a lot of actresses and not a lot of great roles. I don't want to complain because I'm so grateful.
Rose Byrne
Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.
Rose Byrne
I have to rein myself in sometimes.
Rose Byrne
People would make fun of me and throw things at me and whatever teenagers do.
Rose Byrne
Healthy aggression is good, but I think social media can perpetuate that in the worst way. You have to be careful about comparing yourself to others. You can never be somebody else. You will only be yourself, and that's what's great.
Rose Byrne
My parents weren't in the arts, but we grew up in Balmain, which at that time was an artistic, bohemian suburb of Sydney. It's a lot more gentrified now. It was very working class, pubs on every corner because it's right by the water so a lot of the guys on the ships and the boats used to go and drink there. It's very posh now.
Rose Byrne
The good thing about having a kid is you don't think about that as much. Like when I turned 30, for instance, that was much more momentous. Forty is particularly great for a woman. It's a big thing.
Rose Byrne
The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.
Rose Byrne
With a comedy, it's so important to see it with an audience and an audience who really wants to be there and is enthusiastic, otherwise it can be quite a traumatizing experience.
Rose Byrne
I think diversity for most actors is such a blessing. It's something definitely I've strived for.
Rose Byrne
I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.
Rose Byrne
I'm absolutely as vulnerable as the next person in terms of being swept up in aspirational Instagrams. You just have to know what is fantasy and what is real. It's always good to have a diverse feed in your life and in your social media.
Rose Byrne
As you get older, you just lose that confidence and narcissism you have in your twenties. You realize you have less time on the planet, and you become cynical and less confident.
Rose Byrne
I loved performing I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.
Rose Byrne
I've been reading The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, which is obviously very dated now but still relevant. It's so interesting to see how far we've come and how far we haven't come with all these myths that people put onto women.
Rose Byrne
The writing is so great on TV now it's such a pleasure to watch.
Rose Byrne
There's a lot of intensity when you're on a set. And then it just goes away and no one's giving you attention or flooding you with compliments.
Rose Byrne
