The great thing about having spent all this time on film sets is that I've been able to watch directors and how they work. I now know that this is what I want to do as well: to tell stories visually. But it's definitely my vision that I want to put across, nobody else's.

Actors are accustomed to doing exactly what the director or writer requests us to do, and rarely get involved in that part of the process.

Left to my own devices I'd get up at midday every day of my life.

I have so many themes I want to explore, so many questions I'd like to raise and develop, and hopefully, I'll get to do just that.

In my entire career? I am so sick of being asked, What's it like to kiss Mel Gibson?

Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it's even begun.

It's funny, I listen to friends who talk about back when they were 14, eight, 16, whatever, as if it was yesterday. Me, I've no idea what I did. It's all a blur, I'm afraid.
