The first movie my dad ever showed me was Predator - I was five. And I think the second one was Jaws. I've has this understanding of fiction for a very, very long time but I've also had this thing where I've idolized the male action heroes because that's what I watched with my dad.

I'd never put all my chips anywhere, because I don't want to close any doors, but I was raised in a very blue-collar family. I was raised by parents who said, 'If you don't go to work every day, you're not contributing', so that's my mentality. I have to work every day; I have to bring home a paycheck.

I do believe that there is something at the core of protecting your offspring - the love of a mother, you just don't get in the way of it.

I don't take myself that seriously, I'm taking the piss out of myself. I can't really beat up guys, it's fun!

My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard enough.

I have to remind myself constantly to not be antisocial, because I stay to myself a lot. Im a lot more introspective than my characters.
