Honestly, I think if I had to stop acting I'd be like, 'Well, I guess I have to go live in the mountains now.' I'd probably be a good assistant.

I've had a lot of struggles with depression. It's very easy for me to go to a bleak place, or for me to doubt humanity, myself, the world, my choices.

I guess I have a strong constitution.

New Zealanders can be a little hostile.

I feel like any actor should always be thinking about how to serve the story. The thing to be cautious of is trying to make too much of your "moment," or whatever. The story is a lot bigger than you, and you're there to help it along. The thing to think about is whether what you're doing is true to the moment and where the story's going, rather than going, "Here are my scenes. What can I try and do to make the most of them?"

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

People have something on their mind. It almost feels [on marches against now-President Donald Trump] like after-tragedy. People seem sort of preoccupied.
