It was my life, playing Juliet. From that moment on I was convinced I was going to be an actress. That was all I really wanted to do.

I think my drive to work has gone up a bit since I've gotten older.

Um, yeah, it's one of the things that you kind of have to accept at the very beginning, like I'm not going to try and be super [deep?] factor and no, I can only do it this way, because that's just not how this film's going to work. Like it's got to be sort of a mesh of reality and complete unreality and you kind of have to accept that and go with it.

I love anybody who's willing to stick to their own vision, their own voice, who's not easily swayed by money or by financers who are going to tell them what they should do.

I come from a pretty scientific family. My sister is a neurologist and my brother is an engineer.

Some of those things come out and you don't know where they came from - somebody's leaking totally false information. They follow you for years and you have to be like, "I don't know anything about that."

I found my way into the indie world a bit late in my career, but it was something that I was really passionate about doing.
