In particular, for my character, Celeste [in Big Little Lies], there was a way in which we wanted to present her, because she has sort of barriers that she has to put up for protection because of things that are going on in her life. Yet she wants to be, I suppose, very presentable but neutral.

I'm now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way.

Sometimes your mistakes are you biggest virtues. You learn so much from the mistake. Those things that you think are the worst thing that's happening to you can somehow turn around and be the greatest opportunity.

To appreciate the success you have to have had the failures. You have to accept that it is a journey and its not just tomorrow or the next day or next year.

I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.

I've always been interested in our flaws as human beings, just as much as the virtues.

I'd like to be wise. You have to go through a lot to get there, but I'm willing to go through a lot.
