Well you just have to own it, I suppose. Own the character, which is difficult.

My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organised chaos.

I'll never forget anything about Middle Earth. That's part of my memory now so I won't miss anything.

I've ended up spending more time in front of a camera than on stage, but the stage is where I come from.

In very general terms 'Top Of The Lake' is about good and evil. It's a deep dark mystery. It also deals with lots of fascinating human relationships, and it's also about the battle of the sexes.

Acting, to me, is being given the freedom and ability to play, and that's - that's what I love most about it. I feel very comfortable in playing, whether it be in front of a camera or on stage.

I'm becoming a frustrated director, I think, in an actor's body.
