The written word can be powerful and beautiful - but films transport us to another place in a way that even the most evocative words never can.

If you don't have eyebrows, you don't really have a face.

I love cleaning. I love mopping the floor. If you need your floor mopped, I'm there.

Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with.

I think I do believe in the afterlife; I have heard stories from people who I can completely trust that have seen ghosts.

Vampire teeth really aren't very efficient, are they? It looks very messy. I'm not sure it's the best way to get a pint off anyone.

It's very intimate. There are certain moments where it feels like it's just you and the lens. It's something that has been a very stable, consistent thing in my life.

I play basketball, I surf and swim and go to the cinema and listen to music and read. I like shopping.

I've grown up with my parents' music tastes, listening to Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones.

I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen.

Everyone thinks I'm ethereal. But I'm not like that, you know. I'm not ethereal. Well, I might have a little bit of that quality to me, that 'old soul' thing, but I'm not ethereal.

I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

I don't mind doing the whole red carpet thing when I have to when it comes to publicizing a movie. But besides that, I don't like those kinds of things at all. Celebrity status is not really something that appeals to me.

I love a lot of comedy actors and actresses like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey and all those women who are really brilliant and funny.

There's no one out there like Quentin Tarantino. His films have a signature look, and they never just stick to the same kind of story.

I think if my child died I would prefer it if I were dead.
