A lot of parents tell their children that if they want to be an actor, that's fine, but they should do something else first, so they've got something to fall back on. It doesn't work like that, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't really like to know what I'm going to do before I do it.

I like to dance, but it's not my weekend activity. I'm not a clubber.

I would tend to be drawn to independent cinema as a viewer, probably more than the big blockbuster.

I don't do things lightly, I don't take a job then just phone it in, I've never done that.

Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.

I wanted to be an actor since I was nine years old.
