Without movie parts I was reduced to freak status. I just couldn’t stand it.

South Africa’s increasingly, for example, the largest foreign investor in various other parts of Africa.
On the surface, it’s really easy to dismiss certain characters, but sometimes you find that the most interesting parts are disappointingly shallow. It’s your job as an actress to pull that person apart, and work out why they act the way that they do.
Players say going to a World Cup, it’s one of the best parts of their career, and I can’t wait.
I love the part of Hector as it takes me back to playing eccentric parts. He is a funny character, which is fine by me as I’ve been playing for laughs for decades now! It’s lovely to get a laugh; it’s the best thing in the world!
Our pat-down approach is very similar to what is being utilized in Europe and, as we know, around the world. It’s even much more thorough in other parts of the world.

I like to edit my sentences as I write them. I rearrange a sentence many times before moving on to the next one. For me, that editing process feels like a form of play, like a puzzle that needs solving, and it’s one of the most satisfying parts of writing.
Bit parts in Mediocre TV shows won’t develop your acting chops.
People from different parts of the world can respond to the same story if it says something to them about their own history and their own experience.

It’s different for every project. Some parts are quicker than others to get and know; sometimes right up until the last moment you’re just praying that something will click.

Greed has been with human beings forever. We have a number of things in our species that you would call ‘the dark side,’ and greed is one of them. If you don’t put certain structures in place or restrictions on those parts of our being that come from that dark place, then it gets out of control.

I haven’t deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it’s probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask, I wasn’t offered all that many blonde bombshell parts, to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.
