I like characters who remind me of someone I know.
I get restless easily so I always want to keep working, but I am trying to pace it as well.
Director Park asking that if there was a pocket on one side of the piece of clothing then there should be a pocket on the other side. They were a little uncomfortable to wear, yes, because there were a lot of tight, high-waisted things so it was great at the end of the day to slip into some pajamas!
I definitely have an appreciation for fashion.
I always try and learn as much as I can from different departments on a film set.
I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.
He [directo Park] gave me a sculpture, a jaguar. It is the animal, obviously, and it is in my bedroom at my parents' place at the moment. But I am just about to move into my own place and I shall put it somewhere there. I shall make sure it has good lighting. This will be my first place of my own and I am so excited.
Fame is useful in certain ways, because it helps you get more roles.
Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.
Dance is such a stressful environment.
I read a lot of books. So, usually when I go home I try to re-charge my batteries and absorb new stories to become inspired again.
I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
Even if you're independent, I think you get lonely.
Although I'm not particularly troubled myself, I do have a lot of empathy for troubled characters.
