It's great to do theater and have the live response and know what that can bring to a performance. I like to juggle as many mediums as I can.

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.

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

I'm never much of a goal-setter. Whenever I've tried to make big, solid plans, they don't happen. I'm more into whatever the circumstances are that present themselves, making wise decisions around that.

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

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.

I think having healthy relationships makes me feel much more confident and available to do good work as an actor.
