It's like you always have to put on a happy face, be the phony baloney, and I'm so not that. I never was that; I'll never be that. That is part of the business that I don't like.

The realism frightens me more than the bubble gum-y, heightened stuff.

The anxiety does crawl up. The other night I was having panic attacks: 'Oh, my God, what's going to happen to me? Am I ever going to have another job?

My mum's advice is never to whine to my friends, so they never see the other side of me. I save all my problems for my mother.

I'm kind of intimidated by the big screen - I often keep my performances much smaller and much more natural and subtle.

Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.

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