I've always admired Cate Blanchett and the roles she chooses. I think she's got an incredible discipline in a way, with choosing roles that are going to help her grow and bring something interesting to the world.

Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle-clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake.

I have taken a break from the media spotlight for the past few years.

Through my whole career, that's been a major thing - bringing my family with me.

As a child, I was a clown. I didn't hesitate to make a fool of myself and I would love to completely take on wacky characters.

To make my brothers and my sister laugh was the greatest joy to me in my life. I like people who can make fun of themselves a lot.

I have a very, very creative family.
