normal normal-life
I live a normal life.
artist expression creative
My mum is an artist and very into creative expression and freedom.
strong careers different
A female's career as an actor is very different from a male's career as an actor. That's just the way it is. So, I'm fascinated by really strong male careers that have inspired me, and also really incredible male roles.
people instruments
A lot of people I make music with are really talented and it doesn't stop at one instrument.
childhood
I had an amazing childhood.
creative actors fame
I wasn't interested in fame or fortune. I was interested in being an actor and being creative. I was very adamant about that.
character shoes judging
When I step into a character's shoes, I don't judge them. I make a conscious effort not to look from the outside in but look from the inside out, and when you do that it allows you to feel and sense things more, and act and react from a core, you know?
color choices care
Making a movie is, for me, like painting. I just enjoy the care that goes into every brushstroke and the choice of every color. I enjoy the intensity of it.
animal rights voice
I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice. But at the same time, I appreciate and respect other people's decisions to eat meat. The only thing that I hope is that people are educated, that they're aware, that they're living a conscious lifestyle.
children thinking dysfunction
I think as a child you know when it's time for your parents to split. You realise they love each other, but they're not in love with each other. And I think as a child it's much better for your parents to split than for them to stay and have dysfunction within the family.
