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.

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.

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

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

I always find time to read novels and poetry as well as scripts; I like to enjoy different kinds of storytelling. I spend time at the beach and with my loved ones. I like traveling to unfamiliar places to challenge my perspectives and glean wisdom from other ways of life.

Nobody acts purely selfishly.
