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

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 love new cities, and if I haven't travelled for a month, the need to go somewhere starts to gets under my skin.

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

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.

Although my father is English, I was brought up in Australia.
