We live in a violent world, but since the success of films like Pulp Fiction, it seems every movie has some violence in it, and it's now being used as a form of comedy: audiences are now being encouraged to laugh when people get their heads blown off. I just don't like hearing people laugh at violence.

I'm going to college. I don't care if it ruins my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star.

I love being a mum, but it's much more intensive work than being an actress - going to work feels like you've got a day off. Not that I want a day off from being a mum; it's just perhaps I had this impression before that mums don't work. But they work more than anyone.

I am more a teenager than anyone else I know. One minute I feel really adult and the next minute I say, 'Let's play hide-and-seek.'

If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.

I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.

I think people who aren't in film experience that when they hear their voice on an answering machine or something.
