“It's always exciting to play characters who are obsessive because all ...” — Robin McLeavy Quote

It's always exciting to play characters who are obsessive because all their energy is so focused on that one thing and they're eccentric because of it.

I can't do victim roles - it makes me sick.

I have a background in theater. At the time I read 'The Loved Ones' script, I was playing Catherine the Great of Russia onstage. Straight after that, I played Stella in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and Isabella in 'Measure for Measure.'

What appealed to me about 'The Loved Ones' script was that it had this really theatrical element to it. I thought that the scope of this character is so broad, and there is so much fun to be had playing a crazy teenage loner. It was a great way to explore the delusions a mind can create.

There is only a very thin line which separates a genius from the eccentric.

I am not a grammarian. Maybe my style is eccentric.

What worries me about modern society is how inhibited it is. I'd like to see more eccentrics and more freedom, less surveillance and all of that stuff.

If you hide, you won't find the eccentric people who will be your best friends.

I am admittedly eccentric and very silly and I laugh all day and it makes me laugh that people think that I'm going to turn up in a restaurant like Darth Vader.
