Quote

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.

I get restless easily so I always want to keep working, but I am trying to pace it as well.

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.

I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.

Coming from dance, I feel acting is - I'm not going to say easy, because it's not. But the dance world is more hard-core.

Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.

The independent films are really where I kind of come from and where I feel comfortable. It's never been about the blockbusters and making a huge tonne of money. It's always been about wanting to do projects about the things that I think are important to be out there.

What I like about film is it explores imperfections.

I always thought the piano scene was kind of unique to shoot because we were actually able to film with the playback of the actual song. And that was quite amazing because it almost made it easier - music is usually something that is added after filming has finished so to be able to shoot a scene with music was really wonderful.

I think that dancing has helped or prepared me, in a number of different ways, for the film industry, especially with controlling your nerves when you walk into an audition because you're on stage from a young age.

I come from a background of independent films.

Dance is such a stressful environment.

It sounds corny to say, but it was really inspiring seeing kids that were just living and connecting with people. That was something I really understood, the need and want for connection, and fun, and it not needing to be sympathetic, just sort of good fun.

Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.

I don't consider myself a starlet or a Hollywood person.

I think it's possible to have the kind of career you really want if you want to. You just don't do the things you don't want to and you just have to be cool with waiting for something to come around that you really feel passionate for.

I think that I burnt myself out a little bit with my dancing because I did so much of it. I was exhausted so thought that I would try a different kind of performance and expression and acting seemed like a close fit it was similar in some ways to dancing. My mum showed me some really good films and so I became interested in films and acting.

It's really rare to get a teenage role that resembles something of what it's like to be a young person, that isn't a cliché or a stereotype.

You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.
