I’m torn. I want an ‘R’ (rating) because we can get a lot of cool scenes into it, but then I like the idea of younger girls being able to see it.

I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

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 prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you're doing that purely for money, it's not healthy.

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

There are so many actors that I've worked with that I'd like to work with again and there are so many girls. So often when you're up for a role, you're the only girl, and people think that a positive thing: "You get to be the only girl here!" That's not an exciting kind of idea to me.
