Having your work be the basis of fame, that's a far more stable feeling.

If I ever feel that this is dangerous or I'm scared of it, then that probably draws me more towards it.

There's no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists.

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.

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.

Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.

Sometimes as an actor you're struggling to make things work. That was never the case for me with [Big Little Lies script]. It just kind of flowed out.
