I've done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max. I enjoy everything. After one particular experience of work, I like to go in the opposite direction and do a short film, or something else.

I remember vividly one distinct memory of arriving in Hong Kong and being the only blonde haired girl in this sea of international students, and thinking, 'Oh, my God. There's no hiding here.

I'm a big fan of Tom Stoppard's work, and have been since I was in school where I studied him.

In a photo shoot, you have to be very comfortable in your own skin. It's all about confidence-boosting and putting on armor.

I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.

Generally, I play the kind of ethereal, fragile-on-the-outside-but-hard-and-damaged-on-the-inside type.

I really like being thrown into the works. Many actors, I have found, have this as a common trait. We had to, as children, adapt to various situations with either a military family or things like that.
