I am a sucker for jackets!

I work in an industry where everyone is flawlessly beautiful, but I just want to be healthy.

To be really honest, I don't love the gym.

With science fiction there's endless possibilities.

Every first episode of a season has been crafted like another pilot.

Becoming a mother doesn't always change every aspect of your personality.

Science fiction is becoming more of a diverse kind of genre.

'Fringe' is a sci-fi show. But once you go beyond the genre, you're immersed in a profound reality.

In film, you can have sad endings.

Why can't a woman be a little cooler in her emotions and a little quieter and more repressed without it being a huge thing? I've actually always quite enjoyed that, to tell you the truth.

Shakespeare is all big themes, like the most amazing love, or the most scary war.

I'm terrible at practical jokes. I do them too well, so they're not funny. I end up saying, 'Oh, no, I'm joking, I'm joking.'

I want somebody who's gonna need me.

I've read only fiction, so I don't know anything actual.

Everybody's funny if you love them.

Some people just aren't meant to be happy.

I live by the sea in Australia and the weather of course is glorious all year round.

I don't feel like I've hit my stride. So I wonder what the moment will be when I get to be who I want to be.

I didn't know much about video games.

We just say things differently in Australia - like torch. I'd ask, 'Can I have the torch?' It seems to fall flat when I say, 'Can I have the flashlight?'

I've been estranged from my father since I was eight.

I wear Blundstones for hiking. They're like a work boot with a bit of grip, so you can wear them all day. They're quite groovy.

I've found in my life that the parts that you're right for are the parts that you get. It's really usually quite easy because you're kind of right.

I'm a huge camper, and love hiking and mountain biking.

I love being physical, but I don't have any desire to prove myself.
