cool favours few script
There have been a few times when I've read a script and it's really cool but the girl character's just kind of pathetic. It's not going to do me any favours just being 'the girl' in a cool movie.
school
The thing is, I actually feel a lot more comfortable at school just bumming around with my friends than I do at Hollywood parties. But then, I guess you're just never happy with what you have.
bit everyday life nervous work
In my everyday life I'm a little bit nervous and not particularly brave. I feel like if I can be completely brave in my work then I'm doing something right.
australian money nice problem whereas
The only problem I have with American money is that it's all kind of the same color, so I'm always having to look. Whereas with Australian money, you have purple, blue, yellow... We keep it nice and simple.
absolutely funny home jokes sexist
With my boyfriend, we can make sexist jokes to each other because we know it's absolutely not true. If I get home from a long day and he says: 'Go on, get in the kitchen,' it's funny because we know it's not our lives.
beings bubble human movies people portray showbiz supposed understanding
What we're supposed to do as actors is be able to portray real human beings and emotions. And if you grow up in this bubble of showbiz and you only know people who make movies, you don't really have an understanding of the world outside.
kid lucky pressured worked
I know a lot of parents of kid actors I've worked with have pressured them into acting, but my parents are different. I'm really lucky to have them because they let me make my own decisions.
close destroy drive focus love opinion opinions people worry
If people love what I do, that's fantastic. And there's always going to be people who don't, and if I focus on that, then it'll destroy me. I have to just worry about my own opinion and the opinions of the people I'm working with and people who are close to me. Otherwise, it'll drive me crazy.
people film intense
I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.
hate stress presses
I usually hate going around and doing press. It sort of stresses me out.
eight lucky firsts
I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
giving people persons
I'm a very private person. I find it very daunting to have to give private parts of myself away to people, you know?
thinking people giving
It is frustrating when in an interview people say: 'Give us your make-up tips' and 'How do you stay skinny?' I think: 'Do you ask a guy that?
interesting people want
Often, people who want to make interesting films simply don't have the money to do it.
