I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.

I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.

My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.

When you're working with people you've seen in hundreds of films... it's a bit crazy to step outside yourself for a minute and think, 'This is surreal.' But I try not to get too bogged down in that.

I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.

I'm not someone who has a lengthy attention span, and that applies to my exercise routine as well.

If I had the chance to spend a day with Werner Herzog, I would want there to be a canoe involved. I want to be down in Patagonia or something, and kill some kind of wild beast and skin it and gut it and cook it. And then turn its fur into some kind of layer of warmth. And then trek through the hills.
