thinking play people
I don't think many people get to play big emotions in life.

I don't think there's ever a right time to have kids. I'm actually pretty glad it's happened quite young.
trying actors young
"I've never see you do something like this before and I'd love to see you try." For a young actor, that's about the most exciting thing that anyone can say to you.

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked.

I saw Mercury Prize-winners Alt-J for the first time recently, touring their debut album 'An Awesome Wave,' and I'm still riding the high: they're the most musically dynamic and exciting band to have poured tune into my lug holes live since Bellowhead.
