The concept of growing up is so hard to quantify. What have you learned and how have you changed and how have you stayed exactly the same? As I get older, it's something I reflect on more and more. Especially as the generations go on. We wait longer to have families, we wait longer to have responsibilities. Everyone used to be married by 20 and pregnant immediately.

Women watch plenty of television and theater. They're consumers, like everybody else. I think people don't thinking women go to the movies is a thing that still has to be addressed and changed.

The writing is so great on TV now; it's such a pleasure to watch.

I'm generally a people-pleaser so I get high anxiety from any sort of confrontation.

The British are so funny.

My parents weren't in the arts, but we grew up in Balmain, which at that time was an artistic, bohemian suburb of Sydney. It's a lot more gentrified now. It was very working class, pubs on every corner because it's right by the water so a lot of the guys on the ships and the boats used to go and drink there. It's very posh now.

Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.
