ADD QUOTES
- Kelly: (on her reaction to the awards buzz) (miming her hands to her ears) La-la-la is my reaction. Even when I've previously been nominated, I'm still going LA-LA-LA. I think it's lovely and such a huge compliment. And I hope actually that the film does get nods in other categories.

- Kelly: (on being fans of the Coen Brothers) I don't think you can be involved in film and not be a fan of theirs. The one that I just go back to and can watch anytime it's on TV and I'll watch to the end, is Fargo. I think it's, like, a perfect film, it's genius.

- Kelly: Driving around L.A., it's a bit fascinating, everything is so flat. Other than that, I'm just very suspicious of the whole place. I think it's not really even houses, it's just sort of the fronts of houses, and there's people tee-heeing behind and sort of thinking, "she thinks she's in a town. Ha Ha. We're just pretending. There's no people actually there".
