The wardrobe is always the last piece of the puzzle. When you step into the clothing, that's the final step to figuring out that character.

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.

Dance is such a stressful environment.

I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.

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.

Someone once told me to believe 5 percent of what everybody tells you.
