Realizing that other people have a problem with [homosexuality] was the weirdest thing for me. As a kid it wasn't even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was even explained to me. It was just, "That's Mark and he's gay." Mark was just another friend of my dad's who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was 5. I didn't care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does.

A gay murder movie is never going to be, like, breaking box office records.

I would say I was challenging the system quite. But I like to think that if the choices I make are slightly unexpected or challenging to people, then that is good. We are definitely three fairly like-minded people in terms of what we value in scripts and in storytelling.

Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it's more an awkwardness.

I always feel that if you put me in a room with a director and a writer and let me talk about the script, I can give a good account of myself.

I'm also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.

I don't want anyone to ever say that I don't belong where I am.
