A thank-you can be just as meaningful as a soulful ten-page message.
If you're going to be alive and on this planet, you have to, like, suck the marrow out of every day and get the most out of it.
The people I grew up around who I really liked were quick on the draw. It always just wowed me. And my mum would make weird funny comments. I can see in myself her self-deprecating, hippie humour. I can't take myself too seriously.
I try each day, each month, each year to become a better and better person and to be good to the people I love and let them know how much I appreciate them.
I don't cook, I can't cook, and it is really abominable to see me in the kitchen. I order in takeaway food or get my friends to cook because a lot of them are very good.
I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I think it's important to seek out that reason - that's how we learn.
In a world and a life that moves so fast, photography just makes the sound go out and it makes you stop and take a pause. Photography calms me.
Kissing in the movies is a real art - figuring out where to put your heads so it looks good on camera. I have had other co-stars who couldn't work that out, which made it a lot harder for me.
I think a any person who has a high profile job or who travels all the time or who has a lot of stress associated with their job can be difficult to be in a relationship with.
I don't think that life happens by sitting back and waiting. People hold their cards so tight to their chest. Life is short. Tell people you love them. What's the worst that's going to happen?
My culinary skills are terrible. I can't even make toast taste good. I do make scrambled eggs for myself sometimes but I wouldn't even inflict that on anyone else.
Young girls come up to me all the time to ask for advice. They see me as a survivor.
Nobdoy is solid and perfect all of the time.
I can cook about two things. I can boil hot water for the only pasta I can make.
