Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I'm all about fueling my faith, especially when it's hard to do so.

Carrie-Anne Moss

People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I tend to play strong characters and people just assume that I would want to play romantic comedies, which I would love to do, but there are other women that do it so great and they maybe couldn't do what I do, play the kind of characters that I play.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I'm a very simple person. I don't use computers.

Carrie-Anne Moss

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.

Carrie-Anne Moss

'Chocolat' was a joy to make, as we were filming in beautiful locations in France and England. Lasse Hallstrom is such an amazing director - overall it was a wonderful experience.

Carrie-Anne Moss

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.

One of the things that impacted me the most was in the 12th grade. I just assumed I would get the lead in the musical. Well, I didn't get it; I got the second lead, and I was devastated... my mom said something like, 'Often the supporting character is better.'

Carrie-Anne Moss

Before that film, I was nobody. Each job I got, I was so excited. Each paycheck I got, I thought, 'Wow, I'm getting paid to act.' But 'The Matrix' gave me so many opportunities. Everything I've done since then has been because of that experience. It gave me so much.

After 'The Matrix,' I cannot wear sunglasses. As soon as I put them on, people recognize me.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I will never do another kung fu movie again.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I'm so damn lucky to make a living acting, but it's not that I love it, not all the time. If I couldn't act, I wouldn't die. I'm much more interested in the human aspect of life than the pretend.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I remember, when I was modelling in Japan, the agency would tell us that some guy wanted to take all the girls out to dinner, and I would be the one girl who didn't go - I didn't want to go out with a stranger.

Carrie-Anne Moss

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

Carrie-Anne Moss

I shoplifted. I was about five years old, and I took a candy from a store. We paid for three of them, but I took four, and I went home and cried. My mom took me back, and I paid for the missing piece.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I just can't stand the sound of my voice sometimes, or how my face looks. There are always a few times at every premiere when I just have to cover my eyes when I'm up there.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Eventually I want to be a full-time mother who works occasionally - and being an actor you have that freedom.

Carrie-Anne Moss

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

Carrie-Anne Moss

My husband jokes that I'll invite people over for dinner and he won't know who they are or where I met them. But in my work world, I've never really been tempted to tell too much of my story.
