I didn't even understand the whole idea of Hollywood.
For me, even just being English was a whole sort of experience in as much as I'm Australian.
I do Yoga. I'd like to say I do it every morning, but I don't, I just don't have the time.
We've become much more casual and much more relaxed in social interactions, where there was a formality and maybe a kind of respect at that time that doesn't exist now.
Yeah I think Pitch Black was edgy, I think that's what worked for our film.
I think in this, definitely, because you are feeling how it felt to live in a completely different time. The mannerisms and the way that people behaved was quite different.
But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie.
But I'm also a vegetarian so there's another factor I guess.
After that, I was offered lots of lesbian roles, but I didn't want them because I'd already played the best there was.
I'm not working now, so I'm sort of facing the unknown.
So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.
I mean normally you have your agent call the other agent and all the agents talk and then finally you get a phone call and you hear some misrepresentation of what someone else had to say.
I guess when I first started speaking with an American accent, there's a tendency to create a caricature of the accent because you just exaggerate the pieces that stand out to you.
I had a friend, and we always used to pretend to be twins. We had this fantasy about going to Hollywood together. We were about four.
