They think I'm depressed because I look serious in photos. It's usually because I'm just nervous. But I've stopped dressing for other people. If I think I look good, that's the most important thing.

From Rose Byrne

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

From Rose Byrne

I tend to spiral out of control if I'm not working. I get panicked and don't know what to do with myself.

From Rose Byrne

I often do very serious roles, but really I am a big clown.

From Rose Byrne

Where I am now, you're very much at everybody else's mercy. You have no control over your career in a lot of ways. It's just important to know what your own goals are, because that's empowering.

From Rose Byrne

TV is very much a producer and writer or creator-driven machine in the States. And I'm the kind of actor that needs to be pushed and have someone on my case a little bit, so I suffer from that.

From Rose Byrne

Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.

From Rose Byrne

The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.

From Rose Byrne

I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.

From Rose Byrne

I'm ambitious but I'm not particularly competitive. I'll try to get roles, as I think it's healthy to go for things, but... I think there's too much competition between women already. It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.
