"I've always known I wanted a family."

"If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago."

"I think substitution is a huge part of acting, but I don't personalise my work that much."

"People are so involved with immediate care, but at the same time there needs to be investment in educating people as adolescents when they're still HIV negative."

"I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year."

"I have OCD, which is not fun. I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me."

"I always knew I would adopt. Always."

"I hate actors who come and quote Nietzsche."

"I'm always open to a relationship, but I'm not putting those feelers out there now."

"I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work."

"I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking."

"So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected."

"I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained."

"I collect... for a long time, I collected Nike Air Max 90s, this specific shoe. And it really is nerdy, because collecting sneakers is not that nerdy, but if you don't wear them, and you keep the box fresh, if you're that fanatical about it, then you leap several categories into super-dork, and that's the way I was."

"I think world creation and monster creation and all of that stuff is exciting as a secondary element of storytelling. When it becomes more important than storytelling, I get very nervous, and you sort of lose me a little bit."

"You go through this business and you meet people that you bond with, and you get to go make movies with them. It's wonderful. What I've always dreamt of, in my career, is to have a brotherhood of collaborators, and go in and out of working with them. I'm just starting to get that, and it's really lovely."

"Right before I got 'Sons of Anarchy,' I actually quit acting for 18 months and didn't read a single script, and I wrote a film.

"I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university.

"If I'd seen a grown man beating a crippled boy, of course I'd intervene. If my father died and left my mother destitute, it's your instinct to take care of her. So when I started to think about it in those terms, it started to make sense to me."

"I grew up in an environment where it was permittable to use violence to solve a problem. But it was not permittable ever to call the police under any circumstances. That was the kind of doctrine of my household. My dad was a career-long criminal, and you weren't calling the police for any reason."

"Back when I was a kid, I used to tear pages out of magazines and stick them on my bedroom wall - I had the Eternity ads on my wall and the CK One ads. My whole childhood, those were on my wall, and cut to 20 years later, being asked to be the face of one of Calvin Klein's new fragrances is kind of surreal."

"I was playing pretty boys and these angelic roles like Nicholas Nickleby and all that stuff. And I was like, 'What am I doing? This isn't who I am, as a man or an artist.' I had to overcome people's belief that I was too pretty to be a badass."
