“I live in L.A. and I do have wonderful friends”

I like to go in the opposite direction and do a short film, or something else.

I’m a big fan of Tom Stoppard’s work, and have been since I was in school where I studied him.

None of whom are actors, none of which are Australian, but I couldn’t do it long term.

I’ve done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max.

I’m very analytical about the industry and I understand that there are value systems, and all sorts of things like that.

I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.

I love new cities, and if I haven’t travelled for a month, the need to go somewhere starts to gets under my skin.

We had to, as children, adapt to various situations with either a military family or things like that.

I really like being thrown into the works. Many actors, I have found, have this as a common trait.

I enjoy everything. After one particular experience of work

Although my father is English, I was brought up in Australia.

I remember vividly one distinct memory of arriving in Hong Kong

And being the only blonde haired girl in this sea of international students, and thinking, ‘Oh, my God. There’s no hiding here.

In a photo shoot, you have to be very comfortable in your own skin.

It’s all about confidence-boosting and putting on armor.

Generally, I play the kind of ethereal, fragile-on-the-outside-but-hard-and-damaged-on-the-inside type.

Whether God exists or does not exist, He has come to rank among the most sublime and useless truths.

Every day you and I walk through God’s shop. Every day we brush up against objects of incalculable worth to Him. People. Every one of them carries a price tag, if only we could see it.

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.

Actually, I am loathe to admit, but I also remember freshman year of Emory – and I’m so sorry to have to admit this – but there was a Domino’s Pizza in Emory Village, where I went to college, and I was ordering a pizza.

Despite everything, life is full of beauty and meaning.

Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.

I had a sort of bad experiences as a playwright early on, when directors were putting in huge concepts that I didn’t intend, or they were stylizing something that was compromising the play

I think what we are confronting now is a new war of ideas. It’s not communism versus capitalism, but it is authoritarianism versus democracy and representative government.
