My role as Ewan McGregor's girlfriend in the film 'Incendiary' ended up on the cutting-room floor, but at least I had two brilliant days of acting with Ewan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I managed to get a short film with Channel 4 Films. I cast a young actor who'd done a bit of television before, a young actor called Ewan McGregor. That was very first thing. This writer had won this competition, and I made this little short, black and white movie. I think for both Ewan and I it was the start of our careers.
I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.
I would never be in a film just for the sake of being in a film, so I am waiting for the right role to come along.
I don't have a story about an epiphany in which I suddenly realised I wanted to be an actor. It was much more a case of the idea dawning on me gradually.
I don't think of myself as an actress. I still think I'm fannying around in my mum's front room.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
Fifteen years old, out in the world, acting was all I had.
I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I'm very fond of being in this movie.
With 'That Awkward Moment', you could argue I'm just playing the girlfriend of Zac Efron, but the director was such a creative force and let me make her my own. I loved being part of something that felt so relevant and fresh.
I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college.
