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.

More quotes by Rose Byrne
I think diversity for most actors is such a blessing. It's something definitely I've strived for.
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
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 have to rein myself in sometimes.
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
People would make fun of me and throw things at me and whatever teenagers do.
Rose Byrne
TV is very much a producer and writer or creator-driven machine in the States. And I'm the kind of actor that needs to be pushed and have someone on my case a little bit, so I suffer from that.
Rose Byrne
As an artist I just think comedic actors are really underrated.
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
I definitely had creative people around me, but my parents were more just very encouraging.
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
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
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
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
Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.
Rose Byrne
I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.
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
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 often do very serious roles, but really I am a big clown.
Rose Byrne
My parents were so relaxed by the time I was growing up that I got away with a lot more.
Rose Byrne
