Looking back, I just think I was a really average sort of girl.

[When did you realize that you wanted to act and that that was a feasible goal?] RP: I never thought it wasn’t a feasible goal. I wanted to be an actress since I was really, really small. I knew I didn’t want to sing, and I didn’t want to do music, and words were the ways I wanted to express myself. And I don’t know, it’s pretty good, isn’t it? You can create characters and dress up and just extend the role-play you do as a kid and make it your job. It’s pretty exciting. I never thought about film, though. Film wasn’t in my head; I didn’t see it as feasible. I just didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know where film came from when I was under 10. I just thought I’d be a stage actress. I always knew money would be tough, but that never frightened me. I grew up without any security—I obviously had lots of security because I have two parents who had a good marriage and stayed together and we had a creative household full of ideas, but there was never any financial security. So I knew I could have a good life without that.
