I got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.

What I like about film is it explores imperfections.

You definitely put a bit of yourself in every character, and you always have to have an understanding and empathy for the person that you play.

I really loved it because it really informed his way of seeing my character and the story. If you look closely he always had this metaphor of an egg, of a little chick pecking her way out of a shell, and in one scene in the kitchen there are all these white plates on a wall and then in the middle there is a yellow plate so even that looks like an egg. And a lot of the furniture was almost sculpted in that way as well. It was really cool to see that.

The independent films are really where I kind of come from and where I feel comfortable.

Ballet has really helped me in every acting role. You have to be very disciplined, you have to be able to control your nerves and perform under pressure, and all those things you have to use in acting when you're on film or going for an audition.

You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.
