To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research.

I love the solitude of being on a plane and finally getting to read an entire book and being left alone.

I once ate McDonald's three times in one day.

I'm not perfect-looking and I don't say the right things, I'm a little different, nothing really special, but I guess I come across as a little more real to people and that comes through on the screen. I know I look young, but with the right make-up I can look older. I definitely feel older.

As a teenager, my favourite rejection was, 'She looks too healthy,' which of course translates as, 'She needs to lose weight.'

This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else.

You won't see me in a better mood than 4:00 in the morning on my way to work.
