Doing nude scenes for me is totally fine. When you view it through the lens of a prudish, inhibited culture, then it becomes a little perverted. But the experience of acting is that you transcend your own experience.

For me, even just being English was a whole sort of experience in as much as I'm Australian.

New York in a way functions as another character within the story, as it does within most of Woody Allen's stories.

We've become much more casual and much more relaxed in social interactions, where there was a formality and maybe a kind of respect at that time that doesn't exist now.

I guess when I first started speaking with an American accent, there's a tendency to create a caricature of the accent because you just exaggerate the pieces that stand out to you.

But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie.

I didn't even understand the whole idea of Hollywood.
