“I only put soap on my face once a day, in the evening, and I'll add in a face mask or exfoliating product ever so often.”
“Women have been given these bodies to produce children, and the spirit and tenderness to take care of people around us. It's fine to be an outspoken and working woman. I don't want to be a man.”
“Things can feel pretty extra after having a baby. A lot of it is probably hormones. Two under two and three kids in four years has been truly humbling.”
“Yes, I am passionate about my work but my success is meaningless without my loved ones, my family and my husband. They are my priority.”
“I would not suggest that people skip meals. Instead, compensate with eating in lesser portions.”
“I don't work out for a shoot or a movie. For me, it's a lifestyle. That one hour a day really pumps me up. I exercise because it makes me feel good... looking good as a result is an added bonus.”
“I do not want to sign projects in which the depth and essence of my character takes second place and the focus is instead on my looks.”
“I am quite comfortable doing a fashion shoot in a bikini. It's no big deal. But on the film's set, with a hundred people milling around, I got nervous.”
“I take a second sometimes to just remind myself there is no destination in motherhood.”
“I went through an awkward phase with my body and was often ragged for being too thin. I didn't understand then why people were being so unkind, but I used it to make myself mentally stronger.”
“I want to do roles that allow me to push my boundaries and provoke us to think differently.”
“I wear what I feel most comfortable in. I love black and grey. I like colour as long as it's understated.”
“What is a good script without a good director or a good director without a good actor?”
“I care more about the directors that I get to work with as opposed to the actors.”
“In modelling, some girls have been working for the last 15 years and they are still in the same cycle of what they have been doing. It is too big a pool and I am not going to travel with the herd. I need to pave my own way.”
“Feminism is just an overused term and people make too much noise about it for no reason.”
“I have a lovely bath tub that feels like my sanctuary. I fill it up with a lavender bubble bath, read a magazine and just chill out.”
“I've always maintained that I'd rather lead an interesting life than be a star.”
“I always wanted to be independent. I worked at a few odd jobs as a teen and, when I was in my early 20s, I soon realised that I disliked unfair bosses. I knew I was disciplined and motivated, and that I would work best when I was self-employed.”
“Life has not changed much after marriage. I went straight back to work. But I guess changes come after having a baby, not after marriage, especially if you are married to the right person who understands your lifestyle and profession.”
