You have an awareness of your body and how to use it and I think that if you can embody a character physically it's another really useful tool.

It's amazing how much you can absorb on a film set.

I like to be absorbed in what my character's doing.

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.

The jobs I enjoy most are the ones where I never feel like I'm performing. I'm just feeling things.

I was shy at school.

What I like about film is it explores imperfections.

I was probably a bit of a mimic when I was a kid, and I used to imitate people.

Dance is such a stressful environment.

Acting really suited me because I could connect as an actor to emotion.
