My job is to portray real human beings and real human experiences, and if I haven't had a real human experience myself outside of the film industry, how am I going to be able to do that?

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel 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’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 was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.

I'm into video games, but only real specific lame video games. In a more traditional nerd sense, I just read lots of books and I enjoyed school.

I felt much better when I started to become myself a bit more and to spend time with people who I genuinely liked as opposed to the people I felt I should be spending time with.
