It is so important to remember that, while I love my job, there are other fantastic avenues to explore in my life.

I've always wanted to be an actor that explores different genres and different characters.

Nobody acts purely selfishly.

For me, I've just always known that women were more than capable of being able to direct.

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.

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.
