Famous quotes by Toni Collette:

"I don't know if I want to do this forever,"

"We saw everybody you can think of. But Toni was always the one in my mind. I knew she could disappear into this part, make it fresh and, at the same time, make Rose endearing even while she's filled with self-loathing."

"Cameron and I actually do wear the same size, ... It made it very easy for the wardrobe department."

"Oh, my God, Shirley,"

"It's about loving and letting go. I think it's about family and those relationships that are incredibly joyous and incredibly intense and confronting. It's about people learning to be comfortable in their own skin."

"As a human being, you are certainly entitled to your own opinion. It's just that you're blown out of proportion in the media sometimes. Even if I weren't an actor, I'd still be active in things that are important to me."

"Both of the girls learn about how the other lives, learning about how the other person is in their shoes. Also the journey they're both going on, even though it appears to be different, is very similar in that they're coming to learn how to be in their own shoes."

"Now I say I actually, really will never do it again."

"I don't understand why I do what I do. I don't understand why I act anymore. But I do know that I love it, and that I find it really interesting and satisfying to enter into other worlds and explore different ways of thinking."

"When I go to see a movie, if I can't engage emotionally then it doesn't affect me and I can't get anything out of it. When you look at a movie that doesn't reflect your reality [time after time], eventually you're going to get tired and pick up a book."

"I don't mind where I work, it's really nice to be able to travel around and taste the flavours of different countries."

"I try to play real people who inspire me through something in their journey."

"I kind of realized I could sing, so I played around with that for a while. And that led me to acting in itself, which I came more passionate about by the age of 15."

"Also, I think having a musicality about me that helps in identifying different things in languages and getting them right."

"We were just covered in dirt the whole time. It was so hot - and that was in winter. I can not imagine what it's like in summer and how the people who actually live out there survive."

"Being in the desert was brilliant and it was hard."

"The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world."

"I'm very happy with my lot. I like the variety I get. You don't want to spend your life repeating yourself. It's true of any kind of artist, you want to explore as wide and far as you can go, so that's what I've been trying to do."

"I grew up watching a lot of American television and so the American sound has been in my psyche somehow for a long time and is quite familiar and so that does make it easier."

"Travelling's so much better when you know you've got a lovely home to go back to."
