You kind of know what kind of reaction a Yorgos Lanthimos movie is going to get.
'Intermission' was my favourite film.
I went to an open audition for 'Between the Canals,' and that was a big thing. I suddenly thought, 'Ah, yeah!' Then I started getting brought away to do roles. That's when I got taken seriously.
I recently was in the same room as Leonardo DiCaprio, and one of my favorite movies is 'Basketball Diaries.' That movie hits home for me in so many ways, and in that moment, I was like, 'I have to thank this dude.' So I did.
It's nice coming from Summerhill, because you don't come from having everything, and what you do get, you appreciate.
I thought I was going to be a footballer or a boxer or something like that - I was into sports.
I was a mess-up in school, a big mess-up. I was into history and English, because there were always stories, like 'Dracula' and World War II. I've never read a book, though. Never.
Acting is not a thing where I'm from. Finishing school is a big thing. Not a lot of people finish school.
