I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.

I take great responsibility in any character that I play.

I've actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I'm carrying no baggage. They haven't seen me in anything, even though I've done nine films.

I'm used to working really hard to get a role. I was always auditioning and talking my way into roles.

I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.
