(on filming the movie 'The Square') I couldn't have asked to work with better people, it was just a joy.

(on filming 'The Square') I think this was very much a "family project" and in that sense it was beautiful to be a part of.

(on working on big budget films like 'The Pacific') In terms of budget [for The Pacific] it is. You'd open you're 1930s original wallet and there would be original lace gloves, and original diaries with entries from the character. I mean the detail was just mind blowing, and just seeing how the big budget American productions work - it was amazing. And I was very lucky not to have left our shores to work on a big American production. Because I know, if I was in America, I could be pouring beers in a dirty jazz bar waiting years to get my foot in the door on a HBO series...

(on her work in 'Rush') Rush is the consistent long-running job that I am learning so much from.

John Edwards, the producer on Rush is what attracted me to the script. I have admired him for so long and he is incredibly passionate, insightful and so I wanted to jump on board.
