I Have Thus Decided To Make A Certain Film And Now Begins The Complicated And Difficult-to-master Work. To Transfer Rhythms, Moods, Atmosphere, Tensions, Sequences, Tones And Scents Into Words And Sentences In A Readable Or At Least Understandable Script. This Is Difficult But Not Impossible.
I Was Sent The Script [of Havenhurst ], And I Was Out Of Town At The Time, So I Did A Site Meeting With Andrew [erin]. It Was So Bizarre. I Was Staying In A Hotel At The Time, And The Night Before The Meeting With Andrew, I Learned There Was A Ghost In The Hotel.
Having Just Read The Script [havenhurst] And Then Add Having Seen A Ghost, I Went To Andrew [erin], And I Was, Like, "okay, I Have To Do This Movie. I Just Have To! I Don't Know Why, But I Just Have To Do It." And I Ended Up Getting The Role.

It`s The Only Time My Education Has Come In Remotely Handy. -on Using Her Russian Literature Studies For Copying Her "van Helsing" Script Into Russian To Acquire A Slavic Accent.

I Don't Consciously Seek Out Australian Projects. I Put Them On The Same Table As All The Other Scripts And I Wouldn't Ever Do A Film Just Because It's Been Shot At Home.
I Tend Not To Read The Size Of The Production Into A Script When I'm Reading It. It's Just Something You Respond To Or Not And I Do Think It's Very Dangerous To Say It's Time Now To Do This Or It's Time Now To Do That.
