I grew up around animals [seven horses, dogs and now a pet goldfish named Leila] and I'm rebelling against them not having a natural existence.

Mom worked with autistic children.

I'm really drawn to European films.

I like to keep mobile. It keeps my mind awake.

My first audition was the worst I have ever done, ever.

There's no point in dwelling on rejection.

I go by intuition. Work-wise, that means asking myself if a role will push me outside my comfort zone, challenge me to learn something new.
