I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.

I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

Why do a crappy film role when you can do a meaty stage role? and ...I'm not small and curvy and I don't fit the prerequiste for small, passive, sexy chicks.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

You're either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you're going to be a voyeur. And I'm not a voyeur.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

I like bold directors. I like directors that go against the norm in a way.
