I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.
— Mia Wasikowska
Dance has such an intensity to it. You become, in a way, an intense person.
It's amazing how much you can absorb on a film set.
I want to just do my job and do it well.
The jobs I enjoy most are the ones where I never feel like I'm performing. I'm just feeling things.
I like to be absorbed in what my character's doing.
I got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.
As a teenager I was very anxious. I had a lot of energy and passion that I wanted to channel into creative things, and I always felt like I wasn't achieving enough.
Coming from dance, I feel acting is - I'm not going to say easy, because it's not. But the dance world is more hard-core.
I get restless easily so I always want to keep working, but I am trying to pace it as well.
You have an awareness of your body and how to use it and I think that if you can embody a character physically it's another really useful tool.
I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.
