Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.

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.

It's hard to tell what people realize. Everybody's different and has a different understanding of the difference in times.

As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.

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 like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.

I'm a huge sucker for comfort.
