I felt like the script [of "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore"] was so clear. It was sort of packed full of information. [Macon Blair] puts in a lot of discussion in the script. Characters are introduced very thoughtfully. The way he described walking into particular environments was very specific.

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

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 was a very independent teenager.

New Zealanders can be a little hostile.

The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.

Even though it's still, annoyingly, something everybody feels the need to bring up to anybody who doesn't look like a model, there are more women now who are super successful and have different body types. You know, like men do. That feels like progress to me.
