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.

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

For me, I see filmmaking as art.

With young people, there's often that carelessness, allowing yourself to get into danger - recklessness, I suppose.

Sailor Moon' was my favorite cartoon of all time, and I'm still kind of obsessed with it. I own all the DVDs to watch it at home.

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