I've been trained in dancing and I used to be quite good, though I am a bit rusty right now. But I could probably brush up in a couple of months.

I am an eternal optimist. Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.

I'm a really rotten liar. Generally, if I've tried to pull off a lie, it hasn't worked out to my advantage.

I would hope with all my heart that people understand this and see it in the film. And there are also other messages in Happy Feet, like racial and environmental ones, but none of them are so overt. George has made a great story about penguins with a lot of humanity in it and audiences can follow a species we don't know that well.

Tired is not a word in my vocabulary.

And as much as I love the gritty characters, I like to play all sorts of characters. I'm an actor. I love to create.

It's always been my mom and I against the world.
