    • Archie: I always knew I wanted to be an actress but used to wonder if I would ever find a man who would accept that about me. I guess I am lucky to have eventually found someone who, in addition to guiding me, reads my scripts and talks to me about it. I treasure his advice. I always feel there's two of us in this and mentally it keeps me stable.
    • Archie: (about working with Angelina Jolie in "A Mighty Heart") Great fun. We just clicked as soon as we met. I say it's probably because we're both Geminis, I tend to get on extremely well with Geminis, it's like you find your twin. And we tapped into each other's energies really well. Because it was the two of us and six men and not just in this industry I think women there's always some sort of tension, more than likely the women don't get on and the men do, but I think everybody was really surprised that we got on really well, so it was us against them and I think they were scared of us. (Laughing)
    • Archie: (on the lessons she learned after doing "A Mighty Heart") It was all so obviously sad, I mean how could you not feel upset and angry over something like that. But what I did learn from the entire incident and now after making the movie, is that it is always better to not have any bitter feelings or any hatred but to come out of these times with dignity and grace. That is one of the things I learned from Marianne Pearl and it is truly a great message.
