I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.

My taste in watching things runs from dramas and low-budget films to high-end fantasy/science fiction.

Although my family - parents and sister - all work in the personnel management business, their real passion is performing, amateur operatic societies and so on.

The first job I ever did in the theatre, I was supposed to be a genius piano player. I couldn't play the piano, but you just sit there at a piano like you're playing, and suddenly all this amazing music comes out and the audience believes you can do it. It's the same with computers. I love scenes where there are people yanking at monitors, "yes I'll put you through now," and you know they're just doing that. But you can look brilliant at all this technology. I love it.

I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

So, if they're coming in and having to do scenes that involve nudity or sexuality, in some way, the utmost important thing is that everyone feels comfortable and safe. If there's any gray area, that's going to be a problem.
