“I always think I love work, and I knew early on that I wanted to be an...” — Natascha McElhone Quote

I always think I love work, and I knew early on that I wanted to be an actress. Then I meet people who have truly dedicated their lives to acting, and I realise that I'm so completely in the back seat.

My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that's all there is - the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there's a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I'll remember, 'Oh, there's the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.'

I have a massive divide between being a competent human being and being completely hopeless, when it comes to logic.

My kids always say to me, 'Can we watch TV?' I say, 'Absolutely!' because then I can get something done. But then they say, and I wait for it, 'But can you watch with us?' My moment of freedom vanishes. So not only do I not think TV's that great and I hate sitting in front of it, but I have to with them.

We will not fail your expectations of us as a new nation dedicated to peace, democracy, and freedom.

I have a room dedicated to music and recording. I go there first thing in the morning and just before I go to bed. And it has a window to my street, so I can watch all the crazies walking by.

I try to bring all my sincerity to the character I play. That way, I am dedicated.

I feel like my whole life stops when I fight. I feel like my whole life is just dedicated to fighting. I'm not like evolving.

My sister is my very favorite person, and I dedicated 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' to her.
