As an actor, if I just did sci-fi, I think it would get limiting, like if you just play lawyers or doctors, over and over. It's a lot more fun, if you get to play lots of different types of characters.

Treating myself is more about just going out and having a great hike, or going on a long motorbike ride.

The most important thing, when playing characters with chemistry, is being able to work off the other actor and be supported.

I just want to be challenged. I want to be proud of what I do, and I want to learn new things and keep growing.

I think what I find challenging is just trying to bring a truthfulness and a realism to a character.

I am still learning, myself, but I guess I would say to be aware of what is around you. Do not expect anything; there is more to be gained by earning it. Work hard, play fair, be kind to all living creatures, and take a moment to just sit back and breathe.

I think I sort of blossomed, so to speak, around 17. I started to get hips and put on weight, which I was very happy about. And that's when I met this agent, who told me I had to lose 10 pounds. I said, 'You've got to be kidding me. I finally got it on - I'm not losing it!'
