I'm glad acting sunk its teeth into me, because now I can't imagine doing anything else.

I pride myself on breaking any box that anyone wants to put me in.

I really do feel like Los Angeles is my home now and, as cliche as this sounds, I felt like I found myself here and I really know who I am now. There was a long period like I was drifting or floating through life, and now I feel like I have a definitive target - and future.

As actors, we deal with rejection so much more than any other business. So I don't care how much of a genius you are, if you don't have the propensity to be able to get back up every time you get knocked down, then you're not going to survive.

Going out there and promoting myself socially doesn't really intrigue me. I'd much rather have my work do it for me.

I'm drawn to a good story, really, as I hope most people are. For me, it's the story that's going to stay with you eventually, not necessarily the genre. I go to watch a film because of the story, not because it was a Western or a comedy.

My mum is about five foot with her hair done. Without it she's about four foot 10.
