I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

I worked with creative people who were very demanding of me and they helped me reach performances that I never could have gotten on my own without being pushed and having trust in them. And so I know the best way to get the best performance of an actor and that's not to coddle them or to baby them. It's to help them it's to push them.

My mom was so people-friendly. She was incredible. She'd go to the mall and she'd talk to everyone. Give people a kiss on the cheek. I think if I wasn't pushed around a lot I'd be great with people. Maybe I still can be.

If I'm pushed I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly that's all.

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears the mistrust the doubts the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

There's full consensus in the military that women shouldn't be in person-to-person combat. I don't know if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be elsewhere. We have mandatory military service in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.

I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.

Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams rater than pushed by our memories.

It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet I was really into costumes and the arts and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
