cracked definitely married somebody
I think that you can get more passionate about somebody the longer you're with them and the more you know them and the more you go through together. Being married is definitely better than it's cracked up to be I think.
banging people telling
But I have to grow out of it, because it's very boring, really. Even when you're telling people how crap you are, you're still banging on about yourself.
time
The thing I miss about L.A. is time. I feel like I had much more time there, partly because no one is ever really doing anything.
alive buy clothes far half hopeless people
Some people come alive at night. I'm hopeless by 9 p.m. Coffee and Cadbury buy me an extra half hour. Often I can't get my clothes off I'm so far gone.
tend
I'm always drawn to the thing I think I can't possibly do, because I tend to be better when I think I can't possibly do something than I am when I'm pretty sure I can do something.
assume certain time
I think half the time I just assume I don't really know what I'm doing - you have to do that to a certain extent, but you don't have to think you're an idiot savant.
beauty beautiful girl
My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.
acting want
I want to discover more things about acting.
optimistic thinking levels
I'm always sort of anticipating life being difficult, but on a basic level, that's sort of on the surface, on a basic level, I'm optimistic in the sense that I think it's all going to be alright in the end.
eggs breakfast meals
Breakfast is my favorite meal. I cook a big one for everyone - bacon and eggs. I own a lot of eggcups.
mcdonalds vanity sick
Doing press is like eating at McDonald's: while it's going on it's vaguely enjoyable - you're seduced by your own vanity and taking yourself rather seriously - but immediately afterwards you feel sick.
fire lines brilliant
You don't have to be brilliant at everything. You just have to have the courage to put yourself in the line of fire.
effort tickets disappointing
I never felt I was quite the ticket academically. I always felt I had to put in an enormous amount of effort not to be disappointing. So I worked really hard, but at the time it suited me, because I didn't do very much else.
doe sound helping
I have to say that, though it sounds so superficial, the accent really does help. I like having accents preparing for a part.
