On working with George Clooney:

“It was a no-brainer. I heard George was making a movie and I said, “When?” If he had asked me to make peanut butter sandwiches for the catering, I would have said, “Crunchy or smooth?” It’s never less than great with him. And poor me, I had to watch guys throwing a football all day. Yeah, that was horrible. (Chuckles) Talk about living the dream.”

On being a happy person:

“I’m fortunate. I think I was born happy. If I have a bad moment, it doesn’t take me long to switch the gear back. I say, ‘That sucked,’ and move on. There’s a lot I want to do. I want to be better at things. I want to know more; I want to understand more. I want to figure out what it is I’m supposed to do. I’m on the road, but I know it’s not the whole road.”

On being Fulfilled:

“I’m not about “If only””, she says of her life. “I know the reality of things and there’s always good there. There’s no yearning with me. There’s intention.”

On acting and liking her job:

“I like the struggle of my work,” she continues. “I like that it’s ridiculous and that it matters to me for reasons I can’t verbalise eloquently. I like it when you’re shooting in 47 degrees below zero and everybody looks the same and it’s hilarious and we’re getting done what we’d hope to do that day.”

On being conscientious:

“I care about what the path I tread looks like. That matters to me – not how other people perceive me. I don’t want to be cruel or belittle people. That’s not part of my constitution and I’m very glad that it isn’t.”
