My valentine is always my dad.

People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.

Every night I bring home flowers and burn candles. And I have a real sense that home is what starts everything inside of you.

I am so glad that I get to maintain a relatively down-to-earth lifestyle.

That is the greatest source of my anxiety on this film [The Hobbit], is that I'm going to be lynched.

I felt like I was a good woman, a good person. But I was sinking deeper and deeper into depression, because my soul wasn't living. I was purposely holding down my soul and my spirit. It was dying inside of me.

I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they're all so jaded. They don't care.
