I am geared towards communicating on a female level.

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

The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.

I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever...I get into a character. The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.

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 tend to project my father figure onto any director that I'm working with, or mother, if I'm working with a female, or it can be confused.

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.
