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

Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

There's a bunch of directors that I really admire, and Australian ones as well. It would be nice to do a film at home.

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.

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.

With dance, you learn to channel nerves into energy, excited energy. It's sort of similar when you walk into an audition room, to be able to go takes deep breath and then go in real calm. It was in those ways that it really helped me.

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.
