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.

I mean normally you have your agent call the other agent and all the agents talk and then finally you get a phone call and you hear some misrepresentation of what someone else had to say.

As much as most of the actors were kind of curious to know what their character meant in relation to the script and to the plot, they really were quite happy to be part of the adventure of not knowing.

So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.

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

To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American accent.

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.
