When you come to actually act, it's a game. It may be a very serious game, but it's still a game. If you lose that sense of play, the work suffers.

My own daughter is a big fan of the 'Twilight' stories, the books.

I remember someone said to me, "Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep." Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that's part of me. It's what I judge everything else against.

My experience of working on this show, even though there is so much about sex and sexuality, and we find out a lot of facts and statistics that are very interesting, in their own right, I found that I started talking about relationships more, and the emotions, the difficulties and the challenges. So, I became far more open about that, which I think is probably an indication with the show itself.

I love being able to play as many different characters, in as many different worlds as I possibly can. That's what I really enjoy.

A lot of the times when I've auditioned for parts in America, the answer is, 'Sorry, we need a bigger name.'
