I talked with [ Blair Macon] a lot. I always like to come up with it - sometimes the filmmaker is not into it at all.

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

I feel so grateful when I see a movie and there's a woman who looks somewhat like me. I'm like, 'Thank you, Samantha Morton!' You know, a woman who feels like a human being. That means so much to me.

I feel weird when I go to the movies and everybody's faces are perfect.

I was a very independent teenager.

Some scripts are pretty sparse.

It's good to feel tired at the end of the day. It's not often as an actor that you're like, "Oof. Ow. I feel like I've been out working."
