I think if you have someone to love and someone who loves you, that's the greatest beauty secret.

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'd rather walk a tightrope than have my feet on the ground.

The thing I'm not good with is mediocrity, when someone isn't really trying to reach something.

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.

Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.
