"[On the training for Sucker Punch] Six to eight hours a day, about five days a week for three months. Honestly, the first two weeks were hell - I was crying and calling my mom every night. Mom was a personal trainer so she thought it was hilarious and was like: “You’ve never worked out in your life! You’re going to fail!" — Emily Browning

Cause I see the light surrounding you, so don’t be afraid of what you’re turning into

"I am not going to sugar-coat myself. I do not do this because I want to be a public person. I do it because I love acting and I love fashion. I am human. I am flawed and I am going to make mistakes." — Emily Browning

"I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the noise of glass shattering loves to make someone else gasp, and as someone gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret compartment. I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world. I will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled." — Lemony Snicket (via thedisconnectbetweenmind-mouth)

"You guys have more candy with peanut butter. That’s really good because I love peanut butter." — Emily Browning on the differences between America and Australia

"I liked the fake babies [we used in A Series of Unfortunate Events]—they’re creepy! We named them all. The practice baby was Scar because it was all dirty with hair falling out and missing fingers! And there’s the shocked one we called Winston, and one called Dave. There was one with a face like it’s crying, and we called that one Joy. These babies look so real, and just to mess with everyone I would drop it and watch them gasp!" — Emily Browning

"I went to this Hollywood party last night, and there were so many stars, like Nicole Kidman and Denzel Washington. But the only person I got excited about was the guy who does the voice of SpongeBob! I have slippers, T-shirts, key rings, plush toys and … everything. I’m just a little obsessed with Spongebob!" —

Emily Browning

"It took forever to do scenes because Jim Carrey is so funny that we would stand there with our shoulders shaking because we could not stop laughing. Finally, Jim said, ‘Emily, do you have a dog?’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, um, yeah,’ and he yells, ‘Well I’m stomping on its head now!’ But instead of looking shocked I was practically peeing my pants laughing." — Emily Browning

"When I first put the [Babydoll] costume on, I did, like the opening of ‘Sailor Moon,’ that was my favorite cartoon as a kid. ‘Sailor Moon’ was my favorite cartoon of all time. I still have it on DVD and I watch it at home all the time." — Emily Browning

"In terms of just getting by and making money I don’t know, I’d probably go and work in a video store or something. It’s not like I have any kind of amazing talents that would get me a job anywhere else." — Emily Browning on if she wasn’t an actress.

"I appreciate a natural look, as opposed to too made up. Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It’s like medicine — very healing. A woman who isn’t preoccupied with superficial things, who knows what is real and important. Someone who is willing to slum it every now and then. But mainly, whatever makes her happy!" — Max Irons on what appeals to him most in a woman.

"I really like that there were strong female characters in [The Uninvited], often in horror movies the female is a little ditzy and sexualised. We are kind of going backwards in the way women are represented. It is disguised as sexual empowerment, but really it is just women pole dancing — it is empowerment aimed at men." — Emily Browning

"I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the noise of glass shattering loves to make someone else gasp, and as someone else gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret compartment. I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world." — Lemony Snicket  (via sleepinginthesnow)

"It is one of the peculiar truths of life that people often say things that they know full well are ridiculous. If someone asks you how you are, for example, you might automatically say “Fine, thank you,” when in fact you have just failed an examination or been trampled by an ox. A friend might tell you, “I’ve looked everywhere in the world for my keys,” when you know that they have actually only looked in a few places in the immediate area. Once I said to a woman I loved very much, “I’m sure that this trouble will end soon, and you and I will spend the rest of our lives together in happiness and bliss,” when I actually suspected that things were about to get much worse." — Lemony Snicket

"There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish." — Lemony Snicket
