I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa, a big Hitchcock fan.

I don't think if you asked any of my childhood friends they would say that I had a weird childhood; they might say there weren't a lot of regular rules, the conversations in the house were always very open, dreams were a great thing to talk about, everybody was making something all the time.

My life is perfectly happy and giggly and I'm perfectly grateful every day; if there are problems to have, the ones I have are the ones to have; I'm lucky.

For me, one of the most important things I look for in an actor is whether we can converse. Do we have a similar ability to discuss a character?

I am more comfortable on set than I am in my own home.

I want to investigate what scares me and worries me.

My father is so jolly, and I live a really happy life. I think that's why all my interest in the darker things in films comes up: because I'm curious about things I don't live in.
