I've always done drama, but I suppose 'Tyrannosaur' was a bit of a watershed moment for me. It was like when Kathy Burke did 'Nil By Mouth' - suddenly, people were saying, 'Oh, she can do that, too.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Actually, I failed drama in high school because of nerves. I wasn't able to memorize the words. I had complete stage fright.
Doing drama is a very welcome departure from comedy. Although I love doing both, I like to change it up a bit once in a while with roles in serious drama.
I always found that drama, really good drama, has a lot of comedy in it.
I almost failed drama at school. I hated it. It was all about the history of theatre.
Drama is what I did before 'Blossom.'
I wasn't originally taking drama, but the drama teacher asked me to audition for Bye, Bye Birdie. I did and got the lead role. Initially I was kind of scared, but once I did it I got bitten by the bug and loved it.
I was a drama-class nerd. I did whatever school production we put on.
The first drama thing I really got stuck into was 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' I played Puck. That's when I said, 'I want to be an actor.'
In 'Scream,' there is very real drama that would be in almost any drama.
There's no social realism in 'Tyrannosaur.' It's not about the social landscape or the political landscape or any of that. It's just about human beings. I never made 'Tyrannosaur' in reference to anybody - I just made it because I had to make my own films.
