beautiful character talking
There are so many different ways to develop a character - physically, mentally, spiritually and all of that - but the research was really beautiful. I love the process of finding characters because, in the beginning, it's really unknown, and then, by the end of it, all of a sudden, you're walking and talking like that character.
adventure character different
Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.
character shoes judging
When I step into a character's shoes, I don't judge them. I make a conscious effort not to look from the outside in but look from the inside out, and when you do that it allows you to feel and sense things more, and act and react from a core, you know?
beats fascinated
I got into DJing and making beats when I was about 17. I was always fascinated by the four elements of hip-hop: you know, writing, rhyming, breakdancing and graffiti.
agent entered
When I was a teenager, me and a couple of my friends entered a couple of modeling competitions just for fun, and one of those got me an agent in Sydney.

I didn't go to the cinemas a lot as a kid.
dark matter stories
I love love stories, no matter how dark.
piano play keyboards
I play the keyboard, piano - I like making beats.
book reading details
I read everything I could find: books and online. Sometimes bigger revelations came to me through finer details or something that you wouldn't pick up just by surface reading.
thinking live-in-the-moment important
I think it's really important to live in the moment.
oil media stuff
I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.

I'm a fan of Bradley Cooper's.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.
