If I was in Sydney, I love the beach. Even though I'm incredibly pale, I put on these terribly long unattractive rashies, and people laugh at me. My kids laugh at me. But that's what I would do.

I never like to tell people what they should take.

When you know psychologically what [characters] are feeling, then that plays out on how you dress a lot of times.

I look for roles that show women as independent, informed, and free to make their own decisions.

I was fair-skinned in a country that's about the outdoors.

I love that ["Big Little Lies"] is about women coming together and making something happen very quickly, with friendship being the core of it.

You'll nip anybody who's coming at you with bullshit. You don't play around. You take this craft very seriously. It's what separates you, what separates an actor from an artist.
