I usually hate going around and doing press. It sort of stresses me out.
After Hollywood, you know if people are interested in you or in the fact that you've been in a movie. You know who your real friends are.
For me, I see filmmaking as art.
There are so many actors that I've worked with that I'd like to work with again and there are so many girls. So often when you're up for a role, you're the only girl, and people think that a positive thing: "You get to be the only girl here!" That's not an exciting kind of idea to me.
I've been acting since I was a kid, so I just feel confident in the fact that I can do it to some degree. I've never thought I was amazing; I've just thought, 'I know this, I can do it.
I've actually got turned down for a lot of roles because I'm not bubbly enough. People have told me to be more 'up', but I can't, really. I find it hard to be smiley and giggly all the time.
What we do to ourselves to look a certain way is crazy.
I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.
I feel like in Australia, all the films I've done, we're all equal moving parts in this equation of making the film - an actor is another crew member, essentially.
