I'm not working now, so I'm sort of facing the unknown.
So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.
New York in a way functions as another character within the story, as it does within most of Woody Allen's stories.
I mean normally you have your agent call the other agent and all the agents talk and then finally you get a phone call and you hear some misrepresentation of what someone else had to say.
I guess when I first started speaking with an American accent, there's a tendency to create a caricature of the accent because you just exaggerate the pieces that stand out to you.
I had a friend, and we always used to pretend to be twins. We had this fantasy about going to Hollywood together. We were about four.
This city can be kind of brutal, so you see your dreams from every different angle, but ultimately it's about acting and if you enjoy acting, you will always enjoy acting.
There's something really nice about having a group of people that you're committed to, that you work with and that there's a future in it. Film is like a party, and then it's over, whereas this hopefully feels like a family.
To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American accent.
I never wanted to be a movie star.
I'd definitely rather be rich than famous.
You do have habits and rhythms that you do sort of fall into when you're acting, but if you've got text that doesn't allow you to do that it puts you in a bit of an uncomfortable space and takes you out of your habits.
Well, obviously I was excited by the idea that Woody Allen was going to direct it. But at the same time, the script itself and the character was really interesting.
Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it's not the most Christian of sentiments.
