I really like 'Girls.' I know everybody does, but I love 'Girls.'

I was at university and I was studying modern drama and studying English, and I just was like, 'I don't wanna be in this place. I wanna be acting.'

I'm not one of those people who can cry on cue. If I have to cry in an audition, I'm like, 'Okay, let me see what I can do.'

I guess I’ve never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.

I don’t think I’ve played a lot of crazy people.

I used to write stories and poetry, but for some reason I have it in my head that if I’m going to write, I have to write a script.

There’s not much of a follow-your-dreams kind of vibe in New Zealand or my family.

I’ve done a gazillion readings that have gone on to be movies that are made without me.

I was a kid who didn’t have a lot of self-esteem.

I read every single review, because I love film criticism and I’m interested.
