Sometimes the characters I find the most compelling are in independent movies. With independent scripts people can take more challenges.

Any film I do needs to excite me at a script level.

The problem with independent films is that they can be hit or miss. I've seen scripts that have blown me away. But there have to be all the right ingredients in place to make them work: the director, cast, publicity, distribution.

I personally like to do independent films.

I don't get that many scripts. Back in Australia, I've pretty much done my own shows and really no work outside of that. It's only now that I'm starting to read some Hollywood film scripts, and I've read some really great ones.

Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.

Well, there's no question that a good script is an absolutely essential, maybe the essential thing for a movie.

I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.

For me, the script is important. If it excites me, I'll do the film.
