I wish I looked more like my mother, but I think I look like my father. I wish I had one of those naturally beautiful faces. Or a more quirky face. I'm right down the middle: not interesting enough, not pretty enough.

In Hollywood, you can't say anything bad about anybody or everyone is going to attack you.

Actors rarely stay in touch with directors after they've filmed together. We go back to real life.

I permed my hair 12 years ago, because I always wanted a perm, but my mother would never let me have one! I got a lot of stick, but I didn't care - I loved the curls. The growing out was the difficult part!

I find most men don't like a lot of makeup.

I always feel I could be like Toni Collette, going between big studio things and indie films. That would be feasible.

When I was a teenager, I was really into hair; I dyed it different colours and had loads of haircuts. I shaved my head when I was 17 - it was pretty radical!
