America seems much more diverse and has more exciting casting - they really take risks.

I'm ambivalent about tech.

Awards do get you 'that profile,' but then you have to do the rest of the work - it's not just a case of 'now you don't have to do anything.'

When you're an actor, people just take it for granted that you're really confident and can get up in front a stage full of people and just speak to them.

It happens a lot that women have to play the girlfriend role, which isn't as three-dimensional as the male role.

I've always really liked murder mysteries and thrillers, and great to be able to be actually part of one.

I would love to say something really cool, because I did film studies. So, like, a Jean-Luc Goddard film - something like that. But I genuinely would love to be in 'Titanic.' I'm such a loser. That's, like, my childhood film. Like, I love it.
