I didn't even understand the whole idea of Hollywood.

I had a friend, and we always used to pretend to be twins. We had this fantasy about going to Hollywood together. We were about four.

Well, obviously I was excited by the idea that Woody Allen was going to direct it. But at the same time, the script itself and the character was really interesting.

So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.

But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie.

After that, I was offered lots of lesbian roles, but I didn't want them because I'd already played the best there was.
