“Celebrity is a very tricky area to navigate.”

“My 20s were a completely and utterly different time in my life.”

“I really fancy Harrison Ford. I've got to say I think he's really divine. He's, like, an older man, I guess, although he's not really that old, obviously. I don't want to offend him.”

“Growing up, I thought I'd have at least five kids.”

“לכל מי שיש לו את הרצון המוזר הזה להיות שחקן כנראה יש לו רצון מוזר לעשות עוד המון דברים יצירתיים – לכתוב, לנגן מוזיקה, לצייר, לבשל.”

“הוליווד מתוארת בצורה סופר זוהרת, אבל כשאני רואה תמונות של שחקניות יורדות מהפסים, זה לא מפתיע אותי בכלל.”

“I can set up shop anywhere. I've got my oils, I've got my yoga mat and I'm good to go. I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.”

“I taught myself how to play guitar - pretty badly, but I knew enough about music to start to figure it out.”
