When I moved to London, you could park your motorcycle in the pavement, on the sidewalk. We would stay here and just leave it and go about your business. But now something was sort of encroaching in London. There's cameras everywhere. You can't do anything. You're not allowed to be in a group.

I think if you're going on thinking oh, I can do this with my eyes shut, then it's probably not the right thing to be doing, you know.

You would never dream of going on to play a scene in front of an audience at least without having rehearsed it. But you do somehow in front of a camera.

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.

Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?

I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.

There's very few directors that know what that rehearsal's for. And often it's just about calming down the director. If he could see it or she sees it, she goes oh, it's going to be okay.
