Carrie-Anne Moss

I've had moments where it's like being in the Matrix.

I don't have any huge desire to show you all that I'm not tough and strong, that I'm all feminine and soft. That's not a huge longing that I have because I know who I am.

I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.

For me, the biggest thing is someone who's kind. I'm not into the bad-boy thing.

Self-care is so much more than a beauty regimen or an external thing you do. It has to start within your heart to know what you need to navigate your life. A pedicure doesn't last, but meditating every day does.

Marriage is a lot more challenging when you have a demanding career.

I trained for months to figure out how to ride a motorcycle. I have kind of a major fear of them. I have a major fear of going at fast speeds without any kind of protection, no helmet, an actor on the back with no helmet. I felt very afraid to do it. I love that I did it and overcame the fear and was able to do that.

I think a lot of acting is having the confidence to be open enough to try things and not be afraid of falling on your face and looking like a fool.

The thing I love about music is that if a singer is good, let's say, you are instantly transported to that emotion. Acting is a more drawn-out process.

I love 'The Matrix' a lot - I am lucky and blessed to be a part of it, and I believe in it.

I love storytelling. I love characters that are complicated and layered, real people, that you see why they do what they do.

I love to play women who are strong and unapologizing and kind of rough around the edges and don't care what anybody thinks about that.
