More quotes by Toni Collette
I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.
Toni Collette

Toni Collette
I think it's exciting to see actors do new things.
Toni Collette
I personally kind of yearn to play characters who are complex and who strike a truthful chord in me and who are challenged in some way and, I guess, who kind of move through those challenges.
Toni Collette
People are so fearful about opening themselves up. All you want to do is to be able to connect with other people. When you connect with other people, you connect with something in yourself. It makes you feel happy. And yet it's so scary, it makes people feel vulnerable and unsafe.

I think I'm true to myself - you hear that actors have like plans. I'm gonna do this type of movie, then I'm gonna play this kind of character, and that'll get me from A to B. I've never done that. I honestly just follow my gut and I don't think you can go wrong with that.
Toni Collette
I'm very happy with my lot. I like the variety I get. You don't want to spend your life repeating yourself. It's true of any kind of artist, you want to explore as wide and far as you can go, so that's what I've been trying to do.
Toni Collette
We're all really happy with what's familiar. But what's inevitable in life is change. That's what life is.

I grew up watching a lot of American television and so the American sound has been in my psyche somehow for a long time and is quite familiar and so that does make it easier.
Toni Collette
I think the most interesting thing about any story is how people change. That's usually a struggle, because change is pretty much an uncomfortable thing.
Toni Collette
Sometimes it was so quiet, its frightening. It really prioritizes things.
Toni Collette
I think that the Japanese culture is one of the very few cultures left that is its own entity. They're just so traditional and so specific in their ways. It's kind of untouched, it's not Americanized.
Toni Collette
I have never witnessed poverty like I did in Haiti. The kind that is so deep and wide-reaching that it feels impossible to make a difference. But I found that lives can and are being changed. It may take a lot of work and time but Concern has, and continues to make, serious progress because they stayed long after the world moved on.
