My objective is that I don't try to do the same thing. I try not to emulate something I've done before. And, I'm a real people watcher, so I like trying to play characters that are as diverse from each other as possible, simply because it's more fun for me, actually.

I chop a lot of onions because I love cooking, and the times where I've never cried chopping onions is when I'm not thinking about it, when I'm talking to someone or I'm listening to music.

It's nerve-wracking singing in front of people. I think that's why most people get drunk for karaoke.

You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.

People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.

Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.

I do strive to find projects that are trying to carve out some new space. I enjoy projects that leap away from the crowd a little bit.
