We're becoming so much better at destigmatizing all sorts of things, including mental illness in 'Silver Linings'.

I think we're all capable of bad things but luckily most of us are able to curb ourselves.

Sexism is alive and well! We were saying this forty years ago. I'm an optimist, so I like to think we've progressed in some ways - in Australia, we get equal pay.

I'm in fact Australian but my mother's English so I've got no problem playing a domineering English woman.

I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain.

I was an adventurer, and I got married a few times. I kept trying to find a relationship as good as my parents'.

I don't think they're more temperamental people now. With social media we hear a lot more about it. The nastiness you get online, there were always mean girls - always - they didn't have such a big forum as they do now. Mean girls ought to get a life, I think.
