Sometimes I can inhabit a feisty, vicious character. Sometimes I can inhabit a painfully shy British girl, or whatever it might be. I'm able to step into these other parts of myself. I feel like, as long as I keep doing that in my career, and I keep tapping into different parts of the human condition, that's all I ask for.

I really struggled moving from New Zealand to the United States. I still have very strong ties to my home, and it took me a couple of years to feel settled in Los Angeles. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends and found the places where I enjoy spending my time. Finding beaches to get to made me feel much more plugged into the environment here.

I know that I don't have a perfect performance that I bring to set. I bring ideas to set, and I'm more than willing for those to be affected and be malleable, based on what the other person gives me.

Nobody acts purely selfishly.

I think you can't really reach the emotionally intense stuff without having built a genuine light, playful, connected energy, to begin with.

Exercise is great for endorphins, and I come from a very outdoorsy upbringing, so that means a lot to me.

The reason I feel like I act is because you get to live a million different lives in one. I don't have to go about my life.
