Trivia and Quotes
Quotes
I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was growing up, really. So when I decided to go to university instead of drama school, it was with the intention of becoming an actor afterwards.

There`s no one actor in particular that I want to model my career after, except for the people who have been able to keep their career varied and who choose things that interest them. That opportunity is all I really want.
When I got back I found myself being very emotional about the time spent in Rwanda in a way that I hadn`t been able to or allowed myself to be when we were there.
You can still have chemistry on screen without getting on with the person. But it just makes your job a lot easier if you don`t have to gird your loins, if that`s not quite the right phrase, every time you`re going to do a scene with that person.
