Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.

I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.

Once you move away from home, it's never quite the same again. You expect everything to be just as you left it, and it never is. It's almost the first step into adulthood, realising you've got to make your own way.

For me, clothes are about individuality. When I wear things that are different and it works, it makes me feel good.

I did find New Zealand similar to Ireland. The people, obviously. I found that, ironically, although these two countries were very far away from each other, their humor was so similar and their outlook on things was quite similar as well.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

It's not work, it is more of a passion. It is so much fun and it is really makes you feel great at the end of the day. You feel like you are really after doing something good and you are after accomplishing something. Acting is one of these things that I can't really describe - it's just like, why do you love your mum and dad? You know, you just do.
