I enjoy any type of physical transformation. I enjoy working with the hair and makeup department and I enjoy watching people be very good at their jobs.
If you're having a bad day, get on with your job, because you having a bad day can affect everyone around you.
The stories I'm interested in are challenging ones, and maybe that requires a little bit more of you. I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every single day.
Part of an actor's job is to find correlations between your own life and the life of the person you are playing.
It's important to say that the more challenging a scene is, in a way, the more fun it is because the more of my job I get to do.
My job to make sure that thing is kick-ass - takes the mold, jumps on it, throws glitter all over it, smashes it, kicks it around, and drops the mic. If we don't do that, then we deserve not to have a hit.
Every situation is different. A director is what a director wants to be. If you want to force something, you can fight to the death and maybe get fired, but it's your job to help push things along.
Every job I do, I like to think it makes me better or I learn things. It's all about how much something's going to stretch me or test me.
I just want to keep working, really. I just want to keep acting. Playing one part for a very long time builds up in you a desire to play as many different things as you can.
I definitely want to go on acting for as long as I can find employment. I'm never happier than when I'm on a film set. I just want to keep working.
The real challenge of acting for me, I suppose, is just getting to know a character very, very well and just applying what I know about them to every single scene. That's what it can be broken down to.
I've learnt a lot about certain things but you also learn through your own experience.
Acting is really instinctual and I think you can overanalyse what you're doing. A lot of it has to be based on instinct.
I still have issues around forgetting that it's my life and if I want to do something, I can do it.
