fun independent done
I havent done a lot of studio movies, but studio movies and independent films are always just as fun as each other.
character simple challenges
I dont really like simple characters too much; its too easy. I like a challenge, and I like characters you connect with on screen.
fun dad thinking
I'm not really sure if I have anything that inspires me. I think what goes into my work is everything beforehand that I do with my dad. He teaches me acting, and I think maybe without him it would be pretty hard. I started acting for fun, really, because my dad's an actor and my sister's an actor, so I started doing it and it was normal. But it got places really fast, and I started doing feature film auditions and stuff.

My friends in Australia, they grew up with me acting, so they're used to it.
