Famous quotes by Thandie Newton:

"The film is driven by coincidence and preconception, ... Each character, whether they be rich, poor, black, white, Mexican or Iraqi, suffers these preconceptions about the other as a manifestation of personal frustration. You see the characters' motivation and see that behind the belligerent cop is a man in pain, behind the frustrated housewife is a woman who feels let down. Racism is just one part of the much bigger puzzle that the film offers."

"Interview With the Vampire."

"The Truth About Charlie."

"You're not actually thinking about kissing - you're thinking, 'Is my face in the right place, is my hair there, oh my God, you can see my nipple.'"

"I just feel like it's got to be about the process and about the doing of it, rather than be about how it's going to be perceived. It's got to be about what it feels like at the time of actually making that project, because just a few times I've worked on projects because I think that it will seem great, or it will be a really good career move or about perception and I haven't had a good time."

"I want more babies."

"I think I'll probably write something, a family drama. I'm good at frame works and plots, but my dialogue is atrocious. It gets very over-wrought. My husband's a writer and his dialogue is brilliant, so, I'm very often his script-editor, so I think we'll probably write something together."

"Then I became a mother and it just fills every space, that isn't filled with something else important. It's just like this incredible balloon that blows up and fills life up."

"If I could change my appearance, I would have the gap between my front teeth put back in."

"I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life."

"I can hardly find the words to describe the peace I felt when I was acting. My dysfunctional self could actually plug in to another self, not my own, and it felt so good."

"I don't put the pressure on myself to be a very successful movie star. I want to enjoy being an actor and I want to be challenged by the roles I take."

"Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it."

"I'd love to do yoga every day. I don't usually have time, but a few sun salutations go a long way."

"I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin."

"I never understood the point of juicing - I always thought I could get enough nutrients from eating fruit and vegetables - but now I'm a convert."

"When I am out and about I feel watched. It's become second nature. The only time I get to be private is in my work. That is when I liberate the ego. The blessed-out sensation of liberating the ego."

"If we're all living in ourselves and mistaking it for life, then we're devaluing and desensitizing life."
