When you get the role, it's 'cause you know exactly how to play it, and they know that the way you're playing it is exactly what they want. I never go with a role and say that I need to change anything about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't take it.

Jennifer Garner and I are very close.

Sometimes I take a movie selfishly because it's a female lead.

From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.

I'm very focused when I'm making a movie, but I'm also a fantastic multitasker.

I don't know, I think people who meet me just get pretty much what I am.

I think Australians do well here because we feel a bit naughty, like we're in America and if they only knew how much fun we were having, we'd all get thrown out, you know.
