Emily Browning Quotations

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

I usually hate going around and doing press. It sort of stresses me out.

I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.

I'm a very private person. I find it very daunting to have to give private parts of myself away to people, you know?

It is frustrating when in an interview people say: 'Give us your make-up tips' and 'How do you stay skinny?' I think: 'Do you ask a guy that?

Often, people who want to make interesting films simply don't have the money to do it.

What we do to ourselves to look a certain way is crazy.

When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you're doing that purely for money, it's not healthy.

I'm torn. I want an 'R' (rating) because we can get a lot of cool scenes into it, but then I like the idea of younger girls being able to see it.

I need to push myself. I'm not saying that I just want to do anything that's shocking, but when you have that combination of a script that's really beautiful and extremely shocking, it's exciting for me.
