Maturity is only a short break in adolescence.

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult.

I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

When you're young, you're always wondering when you're actually going to feel like a grownup. And I think you probably fear it, in a sense, too. There's a danger to feeling like an adult... like this whimsical kid in you is going to die or something. And then all of a sudden, one day you kind of feel like an adult and it's really nice.

It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.

I really like coming-of-age dramas. It's probably the most intense period in anyone's life, those years before you become an adult. Dramatically, there's so much to explore there. And it's nice to be around young talent coming through.
