I'm a very private person. I find it very daunting to have to give private parts of myself away to people, you know?

I'm a massive daydreamer. I'm constantly lost within my own fantasies and my own thoughts personally, and I think maybe that is sort of represented in what we do for a living, the fact that we make believe everything and we escape into these other characters for a living.

For me, I see filmmaking as art.

I've been acting since I was a kid, so I just feel confident in the fact that I can do it to some degree. I've never thought I was amazing; I've just thought, 'I know this, I can do it.

I have to just worry about my own opinion and the opinions of the people I'm working with and people who are close to me.

I need to push myself. I'm not saying that I just want to do anything that's shocking, but when you have that combination of a script that's really beautiful and extremely shocking, it's exciting for me.

I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
