My dream girl... well, I love eyes. And lips. She has to have nice lips!
Every time I start the next movie, it's as exciting as the first time.
I felt like an extraordinary hero. I was only five or six and I had the whole of life in my hands. Even if I had been driving the carriage of the sun I could not have felt any better.
There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl's sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system; it could be a lot of different things.
The euphoria of secrecy goes to the head.
My name is actually Mia Gypsy - my mum said she named me that because of everywhere I'm from. She felt that I'd always be roaming from place to place, and I've always felt like that.
Being a journalist seemed the ideal way of both having a job and experiencing the world, especially for anyone with a sense of adventure.
There are many things that I find attractive about a woman. Foremost to me, of course, would be a sense of humor-but that doesn't come in a bottle.
I am sarcastic and dry, but I also have a pretty huge zest for life.
I used to think that only people who were crazy were attracted to the desert, but once you've lived there, you become that way anyway.
I've always considered myself to be a travelling soul. I've never felt out of place anywhere.
Being lost in Australia gives you a lovely feeling of security.
I'm not sure whether Los Angeles borders on the ocean or on oblivion. I always feel that I'm two steps away from the other side when I'm out there. It's more like a vacation place or a place to visit than a place to hunker down.
I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
L.A. is a really good home base. I've grown up here, and so sometimes I have wanderlust even though I tour. You think it would be cured by touring, but sometimes I feel like I want to be somewhere else.
My choice of a life of adventure may well have been a result of the fact that action raised my blood pressure giving me enough energy to live.
I think it keeps the child alive in me. There's a thrill when you steal something in plain view of other people.
I love two-lane highways. They say something about the way things used to be, and about areas that don't have a lot of people. On those two-lanes at night you get the sense of moving into the unknown, and that's as thrilling a sense as human beings can have.
I love the fact you can walk down a street in London and get lost, even though you've lived here 20 years.
I like women who have an opinion one way or the other or who have a great sense of humor and a great sense of adventure. I can be friends with women who are not like that, but I don't have that hard emotional connection.
When I look back at many of the moments of wonder, awe, or terror that I've got from science fiction, it's often been because I've been put in the head of one of the characters.
Someone soon to start on a journey is always a little holy.
I sometimes miss the sense of excitement that I remember having when I was younger. I miss that sense of, 'Oh wow.' I think it's part of aging.
When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.
I like guys who have a plan or a dream. A good sense of humor is also a must. I can be weird with my humor and say things that are random. You need to understand that I'm really goofy and go with it.
