I dreamt of being an actor ever since I was young.

I had friends who ran off to become ski instructors or worked in cool bars, and I often envied them, but I know I'd quickly become bored with that kind of life. I always need to push myself.

What is life unless you're having a good time? I don't really have a plan; I just try to dip my toes in different ponds.

As an actor, Hollywood would be a horrible place to go if you weren't actually invited.

I'd imagine a great date would be to go skiing. Imagine going skiing. Go ski with someone, if they can ski.

I've had friends who have come away who've said, "I shouldn't have become such close friends with the director." You always want to get on with the director, but I personally prefer a relationship where you respect them - you get on really well with them, but they're boss, as it were. It's about trusting your director, for better or for worse. They're the one's seeing what's coming out on the monitors, so you have to try and trust what they say.

Travel is best when it's as unplanned as possible so that you get that real sense of adventure. The film 'Thelma and Louise' really encapsulates that - their travels are unplanned and spontaneous and therefore full of excitement, escapism and optimism.
