I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed herself to be filmed like that in an operating theatre.
You want to keep it in there because you feel like it's yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it's for the benefit of the film.
I'm a fan of making films. Whether I'm on stage or in front of a camera, one of my first loves is performing for the people. I'd like to do more acting.
In film, you have the luxury of accomplishing what you need in 24 frames every second. Comics, you only have five or six panels a page to do that.
The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.
As a child, people were always trying to photograph and film me because it's a way for a shy person to find themselves.
I carry a disposable camera. It takes me back to my childhood, when you had to develop your film and wait to see what pictures you got.
I want to be an all round entertainer, I want to act, make films, make albums, do whatever I can.
I think I've definitely found a niche working in comedy, but dramatic films are what brought me here. After I saw 'Titanic' in the theater, I got the bug.
It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.
I would quite like to do a different accent or play something so different from myself because Olivia, the character I play in this film, is similar to me.
I have done a lot of sci-fi, not out of choice, necessarily. It's just that I'm Canadian, and it's more cost-efficient to film sci-fi up here.
I just like the comic book sensibility. If I can turn them into films and TV series, that's just icing on the cake.
I think if I was in over 250 films, the world would get pretty sick of me. I would probably never get put in anything ever again.
I don't think there's any connection between my journalism career and my film career. They are two totally different mediums and very different skills.
I still don't have a publicist. If I'm in a film, you have an obligation to promote it, I'll do as much as I can.
I'm never there enough to really keep up with what's going on in the Australian film industry. I just try and be part of it as much as I can.
It's hard to pinpoint why all of a sudden a group of Australian films will be doing well and why they perhaps are better made than some from the past.
The dynamic range of a digital camera is not that much greater than film, particularly if you push the ASA a little bit.
I guess I've been fortunate in having an ongoing film career while being based in Melbourne. I'm happy to commute. A day on a plane. Come on. It's easy.
If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
