I'm never there enough to really keep up with what's going on in the Australian film industry. I just try and be part of it as much as I can.

I am geared towards communicating on a female level.

Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.

You never really know what the director has got in his mind as far as the scene visually and art direction wise, etc. Even if you do, sometimes there's a side of things that don't necessarily gel the way people intend. So there a bit of a mystical entity, film.

I went through a period where I just wanted to punch everybody. Since then, I've had a lot of therapy and I've figured a lot of things out.

Having a partner who has nothing to do with Hollywood helps keep things in perspective.

I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.
