I'm a big fan of the misunderstood, the vilified, the underdog, the breaking of myths.

No one ever told me when I was growing up that make-up and skirts were just for girls. If you're confident and you own it, [the other kids] are fine with it...I've always supported the lifestyle that I will do what I please and deal with it.

I guess we're living in a pretty sensitive world and there's nothing you can do about that.

I can easily say "no" to a project if the script isn't great, but when the script is good, then I start asking the other questions. Who's going to direct it? Who's the creator? Who are the actors? When are we shooting? Where is it shooting? All that kind of stuff.

I've learnt that the world over, everyone's essentially the same. We are all trying to have a nice time and get along with things.

I've had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They'll tell you when they're grumpy. They'll tell you when they're okay.

I get involved with projects based on three parameters - the script, the actors involved and the director.
