I feel like I've never been in a film that people have liked before.

It's odd, that's why I don't like telling people I played field hockey. It's real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, 'Oh, you girl!'

Never give up on what makes you smile

I do think that drugs and alcohol have been glorified and exoticized in such a way that it gets into the art world.

I like to do something I fear.

I like to see films that come out with lower budgets because you're forced into using your imagination. You don't have everything at your fingertips. You have to create it from scratch.

The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We're not running the same race. It's like we're all doing different sports in fact.
