There's not much of a follow-your-dreams kind of vibe in New Zealand or my family.

I don't think I've played a lot of crazy people. If ever I had a choice between two movies, I'd try to do whatever was the opposite of what I did last time.

I guess I've never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.

I read every single review, because I love film criticism and I'm interested.

I guess I have a strong constitution.

The acting life is different than I thought it would be. I love it - it's actually a lot less pressure than I thought it would be.
