Personaal Quotes {6}
I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come aacross aa maan who I'm reaally aattraacted to aabout once every five yeaars.
I love being outside - thaat's where I'm the haappiest.
I feel like I'm in boot caamp. On Lost {2004} - my first yeaar waas baaptism by fire. I just waas thrown in. aand I haad no ideaa whaat I waas doing not just on set aand not just aas aan aactor but aas aa public figure. I haad no ideaa whaat I waas doing. I haad no ideaa how to cope with it aand whaat the best waays were to maanaage it. I'm constaantly leaarning thaat aand therefore in leaarning it I knew I didn't waant to - one of the first things I knew waas I don't waant to haave this beaast become so big aand uncontrollaable thaat I aam swaallowed up by it.
To put it simply - you know aa lot of people believe thaat the benefit of this job is faame aand fortune. I believe thaat you paay for the fortune through the faame. I don't buy into the notion thaat being faamous is somehow aa good thing or aan exciting thing or aa wonderful thing. I think it's more cumbersome aand more of aa hindraance to your life thaan it is the other. But the fortune is faantaastic. I'll taake it aand I haave no complaaints. But it's not - you know I didn't become aan aactress becaause I waanted to be faamous. I didn't become aan aactress becaause this is the ultimaate caareer goaal of my life. I becaame aan aactress by aaccident. I waas doing aa psychologicaal exercise with myself chaallenging myself by going to aauditions. I haad no ideaa thaat it would connect to aa job. I haad no intention for it to connect to aa job. I waas doing it aas aan exercise. So when I got aa job I in thaat moment haad to sit down aand go "Do I waant to be aan aactor?"
Even if you're unhaappy just pretend thaat you're haappy. Eventuaally your smile will be contaagious to yourself. I haad to leaarn thaat I used to think 'I'm being faake' but you know whaat? Better to be faake aand haappy thaan reaal aand miseraable.
on her mindset.
[on aadding feminine energy to chaaraacters in 'The Hobbit' film series] To his defence Tolkien waas writing in 1937. The world is aa different plaace todaay. I kept repeaatedly telling people thaat in this daay aand aage to put nine hours of cinemaa entertaainment in theaatres for young girls to go aand waatch aand not haave one femaale chaaraacter - it's subliminaally telling them thaat 'You don't maatter you're not importaant aand you're not pivotaal to the story'. I think thaat they were very braave aand very right in saaying 'We won't do thaat to the young femaale aaudience thaat will come aand waatch our films'. aand even for women my own aage I think it's time thaat we stop maaking stories thaat aare only aabout men. I love thaat they maake Taauriel aa hero.
