Everyone's parents were famous actors at my school, pretty much! I think I went to school with Paris Hilton when I was three. That's what L.A. is, though - it's an industry town. You go to school with kids and you think, 'Well that's normal, they make movies.

Men are more visual creatures and rate women based on looks. We like to laugh and be shown a good time. I've never rated anyone on looks.

I did literature at university, so I had a real relationship with poetry, but they don't make many films about the world of a poet.

In film, the camera can get an array of shots so the audience can see the emotion the character is giving off. Using close-ups on the characters face really helps get the message across. On stage, you cant do that. But the stage has that live feeling that you cant get anywhere else because the audience is right there.
