In the car and in front of the camera I tend to be very calm but behind the scenes I can get fired up and passionate I just don't see the need to shout my mouth off in public.

You know I think the film business is its own worst enemy because it sells movies on DVD footage and 'behind the scenes ' and now it's a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plotlines a secret.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

I never do any television without chocolate. That's my motto and I live by it. Quite often I write the scripts and I make sure there are chocolate scenes. Actually I'm a bit of a chocolate tart and will eat anything. It's amazing I'm so slim.

I was writing a scene where a guy was choking another guy to death. You can go online and type 'chokeholds' and watch scenes where martial artists choke each other out. You can hear what noises they make when they go unconscious see how their bodies flop and everything. YouTube is amazing for the more detailed stuff.

When we're on set we kind of joke around and when we're rehearsing we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. We lighten up the mood. The blooper reel is going to be amazing on 'New Moon.'

The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.
