“I love stories - devising them, writing them, reading them, watching them, being a part of them.”

“We live in such a consumer-based world. Everything we do, someone else has provided for us, so there is something really empowering about knowing that once I have found the right pieces of wood, I can start a fire and keep myself warm and skin an animal to eat and make its skin into leather.”

“I love stories about people that, whatever situation they're in, you can relate to them in a way.”

“I would like to take on roles which nobody would expect. I don't want to be reduced to love stories. I'd like to try dark, edgy roles. I need a challenge.”

“I like fiction. I love all sorts of love stories, I think. I even watched '17 Again.'”
