I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.
Eva Green
I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes. Eva Green
A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school. Eva Green
I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around. Eva Green Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man. Eva Green Some people collect butterflies - I love beetles. Eva Green I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up. Eva Green Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax. Eva Green Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice. Eva Green I feel sick if I have to do something for the money. I can't breathe. I'm not proud of myself. Eva Green I hardly ever go to parties. If I really have to, I'll go, but I'm not the most open person, which is sometimes not the best quality. Eva Green I'll need my whole lifetime to polish my craft. Eva Green I'm French, so I'm quite lazy about exercising, and I smoke. But I do love going for a run in the morning with my dog. That's all. Eva Green In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something. Eva Green In this business actors who have Botox or surgery make you very aware of age. It's awful. Eva Green It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I've taken are those. Lot's of people put me in the dark category. Eva Green Lots of shy people dress a bit too much. It's just kind of an armour. People say the same thing about me. Eva Green My father is Swedish and my mother is French. Eva Green People think I'm so strong, but I'm very shy. Eva Green When I'm not working I just like to be comfortable: I love black, nothing tight, no heels, no make-up - it's nice to be able to breathe! Eva Green Hmm, limelight... No, I'm not Sienna Miller or Angelina Jolie. I'm very lucky and happy, but I still find it very difficult to get good scripts and good roles. It's really a jungle out there. Eva Green I also liked Daniel Craig. He's not like any other Bond. So we'll see. In 10 years I might be cursed for doing it, but I'm very grateful for what it has done for me. Eva Green I didn't want to do 'Casino Royale' when they told me to audition. I said no. Then they sent me the script, and I thought it was actually very interesting - and I had no other work at the time. Eva Green I was very studious, too much. I would never go out at weekends. I was very serious. You should have seen me in class - I was blushing and sweating every time the teacher asked me something. Eva Green I'm worried because of my mother, she's going to see my performance and she's quite hard. She's going to see me naked. And my Dad, woah. Yeah, they're going to see me like a woman, you know? Eva Green
My mother did movies from the New Wave, but I was quite shocked I didn't know much about that period. Bernado showed us film of the demonstrations of the time. Eva Green
When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model. Eva Green
I don't want to be in a position where I'm playing roles I'm comfortable with and making money, but doing it without feeling like I'm growing.
Rodrigo Santoro
I love both the sun and the moon, day and night. But I enjoy the day the most because I live in Rio and I can play sports. Rodrigo Santoro
I need to surf - surf and yoga. Whenever I'm in L.A., I go down to San Diego to surf for the weekend, and I always come back perfect. Rodrigo Santoro
I take a role because it makes sense to me, rationally. Rodrigo Santoro I'm a spiritual person. I'm not very religious. I was raised Catholic, but I am influenced a lot by Buddhism and Hinduism. Rodrigo Santoro In film, you're always using your tools, your body, your voice, your emotions, but onstage, you use them in a different way. Rodrigo Santoro It's hard, the green screen; it's a different way of working. Rodrigo Santoro Sometimes in Brazil, I work harder to make characters different and believable and to overcome the persona I have. Rodrigo Santoro When you shoot a movie, the camera is always taking, taking, taking and not giving anything back. Rodrigo Santoro Definitely as an actor, the experience you have, at least I'm talking for me, my experience as an actor is you go to the set and know what you're going to do, know your lines, you rehearse, you do your scene, you go back home. As a producer, for the first time I saw the whole picture in a completely different way. Rodrigo Santoro
My mom and my dad are still together, but so many of my friends who got married just a few years ago aren't. Maybe it's that we compare ourselves to our parents' generation, thinking, 'Who's still together, and are they happy?' Rodrigo Santoro
I'm very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog - It's the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!
Zac Efron
I don't know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we've been talking, I think that's really fun. Zac Efron
A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
Zac Efron
One time I went into a restroom and a girl followed me in. I signed an autograph for her in the sink. It was pretty funny because she was in a guy's restroom and she wasn't embarrassed at all. Zac Efron I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I'd bring her flowers and candy. Zac Efron I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features. Zac Efron I'll never try to put on a fake image. I'm just Zac. Zac Efron Great advice comes from people that have been around a lot longer than you. Zac Efron The fans make the person a star. Zac Efron Think on your toes, use what's around you, and come up with something organic and fun. Zac Efron Working out is my biggest hobby. It's my Zen hour. I just zone out. Zac Efron A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!' Zac Efron A woman called me interesting once, and it kind of blew my mind. She said, 'You're one of the most interesting people I've ever met,' and I was like, 'Wow.' Zac Efron I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it. Zac Efron I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down. Zac Efron Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes. Zac Efron Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it. Zac Efron I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity. Zac Efron I love action-adventure-type films - mythical adventures like 'Lord of the Rings' or superhero films like 'Batman.' Zac Efron If I splurge on anything, it's cologne. I love smelling good. Zac Efron Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming 'Hairspray.' It's so weird because I grew up watching her. Zac Efron Being known for musicals is a great thing. Zac Efron Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that. Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason. Zac Efron
Every time I go to big events, it's a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn't really be there. Zac Efron
From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter. Zac Efron
In life, if you have an enthusiasm for what they call 'good manners,' sometimes people don't quite believe you. I've had that once or twice before, where they assume you can't be for real.
Bill Nighy
The way the elderly are treated, and in some cases warehoused and medicated, rather than nurtured and listened to, is distressing. Bill Nighy
I'm not a financial expert. The Robin Hood tax seems to me a very simple and beautiful idea. I don't see the problem. Bill Nighy
The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true. Bill Nighy One of my great regrets, and I don't have many, is that I spent too long putting people's status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities. I learned far too late in life that a long list of letters after someone's name is no guarantee of compassion, kindness, humour, all the far more relevant stuff. Bill Nighy I speed up past mirrors. Bill Nighy Actors always talk about taking their work home and I always think: 'What are you on? You just turn it off. You are at work and then you go home.' Bill Nighy Emma Watson is adorable in the extreme. She is such a lovely person. Bill Nighy Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs. Bill Nighy I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again. Bill Nighy I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting. Bill Nighy I don't even own a car. Bill Nighy I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn't help me. Precedents don't inform my experience. Bill Nighy I don't spend a lot of time with anybody. Bill Nighy I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians. Bill Nighy I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone. Bill Nighy I generally do things I'm proud to be in and generally I'm in things people like. Bill Nighy I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good. Bill Nighy I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life. Bill Nighy I hardly even leave my own house. Bill Nighy I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like. Bill Nighy I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance. Bill Nighy
I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage. Bill Nighy
I like being in kids' movies, and I like being in family movies. Bill Nighy
The last really expensive trip we took was so uncomfortable. It's so lazy. I want somebody to give me a great $30 massage as opposed to a bad $265 massage.
Josh Brolin
I have to tell you, you can't have an ego when you're an actor. A lot of actors have them, but in reality most of those people are just sensitive artists dying for a hug and a compliment. Josh Brolin
You have to be okay with wins and losses. You can't just be looking for the wins and, when the losses happen, you can't buy more and more because you're sure it's going to bounce. We call that revenge trading. Josh Brolin
I covered my face because they had taken my wisdom teeth out. Josh Brolin
I gotta make money - it all tends to disappear in this field. Josh Brolin
I have a long way to catch up. I have to start with the pros this year, about 20 seconds back. Josh Brolin I love the competitive part of stocks. A lot of fear and greed, that's all it is. All I see is green and red. Josh Brolin I was invited to a couple of races, but I was doing a play in New York. Josh Brolin I'm really, really lucky. I was given my dad's good genes. Josh Brolin I'm very happy to be involved with great filmmakers. Josh Brolin It takes me 10 minutes to get ready to go out, and that includes the shower. Josh Brolin It's probably a bit of a power trip when you befriend somebody enough that they trust you to tell you things. Josh Brolin Suddenly, I'm in movies that people are excited about, and that is a nice change. Josh Brolin To complain now would be kind of sad. I like the way things are going. Josh Brolin Football? Forget it. I didn't have that thing inside me where I wanted to smash against somebody and watch them break. I was too sensitive for that and disliked being that sensitive. Josh Brolin George W. Bush brought a lot of minorities into his administration, which was a positive thing, and they had some issues that they wanted to press, but 9/11 really gave them direction. It gave them a purpose. Josh Brolin I got picked on a lot. I was a complete geek in school. I had braces. I didn't have the hot girlfriend. I wasn't ever sought after. I was a stocky, awkward kid who got laughed off the tennis court when I tried that. Josh Brolin I only took a high school acting class because there was no other class I wanted to take. I loved it, but I was always against acting as a profession. I didn't like the monetary fluctuations I saw. Josh Brolin I remember at the premiere of my second movie I started crying. I thought, I'm so bad that I either have to stop this and do something else or learn what I'm doing. Josh Brolin I used to go to Vegas and play the horses, and then I realised how ridiculous that was. There is no winning in gambling, but there is on the stock market. Josh Brolin I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then, I don't know, I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room. Josh Brolin Look, I'm going to take full advantage of this situation just because I love working with great filmmakers. But I've been around for a while, and I'm not going to play into the hype that I'm some great, you know, discovery. Josh Brolin The next couple of jobs will determine, at least from a business point of view, if I'm a guy who's actually the real thing or I'm a guy who's had a nice moment. Josh Brolin The only way change will ever happen is if we speak up, and we have to know that it actually has an impact. Because we have a lot more power than we think we do, I think. Josh Brolin
'W.' is not necessarily a political film, but it was sort of a contrasting reality for me to get into George W. Bush as a character because of how I felt about his administration before I started making the film. Josh Brolin
It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!
Kate Winslet The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me. Kate Winslet Life is short, and it is here to be lived. Kate Winslet I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me. Kate Winslet I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick. Kate Winslet So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it, moving on. Kate Winslet Honestly, among my acquaintances there is no woman wearing XS. Kate Winslet I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking. Kate Winslet There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers. Kate Winslet There's more to life than cheek bones. Kate Winslet I have always wanted my children's dads to be involved in their lives. Not just the day-to-day aspect, but the emotional shifts that they go through, when little things pop up - they need to be included, absolutely, and for the children to feel that they are. Kate Winslet Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest. Kate Winslet A lot of the girls were awful, very catty. It was a competitive environment that I didn't like. You have no idea of the anorexia I saw around me. Kate Winslet As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good. Kate Winslet At school I used to avoid dance lessons. They were the worst. Kate Winslet I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realizing that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn't as well-oiled as it was. Kate Winslet I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is. Kate Winslet I did absolutely grow up in a world surrounded by people who were always performing and being flamboyant. Kate Winslet I do like being busy. I'm not the kind of person who just sits around and goes to a spa when I'm not working. Kate Winslet I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that. Kate Winslet I feel like I'm playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I'm playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat. Kate Winslet I finally moved out of my parent's house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room. Kate Winslet I hope I'm always learning something. Kate Winslet
I like exposing myself. There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress who absolutely believes in exposing herself. Kate Winslet
I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best. Kate Winslet
Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.
Cate Blanchett
If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state. Cate Blanchett
If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you're lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, strangers; you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is, if you're with your soulmate. Cate Blanchett I don't understand a way to work other than bold-facedly running towards failure. Cate Blanchett I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track. Cate Blanchett You know you've made it when you've been moulded in miniature plastic. But you know what children do with Barbie dolls - it's a bit scary, actually. Cate Blanchett Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating? Cate Blanchett Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them? Cate Blanchett I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have. Cate Blanchett Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a blind eye to them. Cate Blanchett When something is a vocation, you don't really make a decision about it. Cate Blanchett All cities do face similar, significant trends in the future... most importantly global warming and climate change. Cate Blanchett I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me. Cate Blanchett I think we should stop drinking bottled water. There's no need to be drinking it if you're living in western communities. Cate Blanchett I'm one of those strange beasts who really likes a corset. Cate Blanchett I'm so misunderstood! Cate Blanchett If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously. Cate Blanchett My husband keeps me really honest. Cate Blanchett There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to. Cate Blanchett
When you're directing something, you absolutely have to be involved in all layers of the process. Cate Blanchett
There's an expression in Australia that's called 'Go Bush,' which means to get out of the city and relax. I try and 'go bush' to places where there's no cell reception. But, I don't get to do that often, so for the most part, it's just a state of mind. Cate Blanchett An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.' Cate Blanchett
Being on stage a lot is quite physical. Cate Blanchett
Every director works differently. Cate Blanchett
For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot. Cate Blanchett
No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
Bill Murray
People say I'm difficult and sometimes that's a badge of honour. Bill Murray
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one. Bill Murray
In Japan, you have no idea what they are saying, and they can't help you either. Nothing makes any sense. They're very polite, but you feel like a joke is being played on you the entire time you're there. Bill Murray I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job. Bill Murray I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar. Bill Murray I think all phases of one's career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not. Bill Murray I'm a nut, but not just a nut. Bill Murray Sometimes I snore, like when I get really tired. Bill Murray I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do. Bill Murray And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working. Bill Murray I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships. Bill Murray While I have felt lonely many times in my life, the oddest feeling of all was after my mother, Lucille, died. My father had already died, but I always had some attachment to our big family while she was alive. It seems strange to say now that I felt so lonely, yet I did. Bill Murray 'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award. Bill Murray Don't think about your errors or failures; otherwise, you'll never do a thing. Bill Murray Here's the thing, you just have to drive a lot faster, and if you don't get there, we're both fired. Bill Murray I don't know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn't know how much money I was making. Bill Murray I don't want to have a relationship with someone if I'm not going to work with them. Bill Murray I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked. Bill Murray I've never made any horrible, horrible movies. If you don't ruin your reputation, you can always get work. Bill Murray Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time. Bill Murray My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they're misunderstood. I don't think people realize how kind New York people are. Bill Murray
One of my gripes about movies is that people take them so seriously, and the moneymaking aspects are so brutal. Bill Murray
One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself. Bill Murray
Somewhere there's a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can. Bill Murray
