I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.
You do not want to be in a creative organisation with everybody being like-minded and stroking each other's creative egos. You want differences of opinion... constructively.
I think the height of ridiculousness was when I was playing Elizabeth in 'The Golden Age' while preparing to start shooting 'I'm Not There.' I literally finished filming Elizabethan grandeur on Friday, flew to Montreal, and started being Bob Dylan on Monday.
Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
I think the more you do as an actor, the more facility you have to switch on and off.
I'm from Australia, where the film industry is potent but small.
I think when I was pregnant with my first child - he's about 10 or 11 now - I first noticed changes in my skin, which can make you panic a bit. I had a bit of melasma.
For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.
I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.
When a gift is difficult to give away, it becomes even more rare and precious, somehow gathering a part of the giver to the gift itself.
I don't think it's more difficult for actors to have a good marriage than anyone. I think, in the end, a really important component of any relationship is honesty, and it also comes down to luck.
What happens a lot in film, though not so much in the theatre, is that you get stroked and sort of massaged, like a little guinea pig.
I just don't see myself as the heroine in my own narrative.
I look forward to the holiday season every year.
There is not a lot of separation between work and home life.
I'm constantly humbled.
Louise Frogley is a brilliant designer. I always find her wardrobe fittings really informative and creative. Together, you kick images and ideas around.
Inhibition is something I notice in hamstrung actors all the time. They can be wonderful up to a point and then become very self-conscious.
When I have my moments of insomnia, you'll find me on style.com.
