IndieWire<\/a>.<\/p>\nJust a few years ago Wasikowska was a Hollywood \u201cit\u201d girl with becoming A-list set in her sights after starring in blockbuster movies like Disney\u2019s Alice in Wonderland and Crimson Peak. <\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t entirely like the lifestyle of going back-to-back-to-back. I felt really disconnected from any greater community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was doing it since I had been 17 \u2014 well, more like 15 \u2014 but really working a lot from 17. I spent 10 to 15 years, completely like, new city, new country, every three months. And it\u2019s like starting school again every few months. Especially when you\u2019re younger, when you don\u2019t have that base. I found that really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old said that led her to want to find a place where she could put down roots.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe if the pay-off is good and you feel really great doing it, then that\u2019s OK. But I didn\u2019t. So, I wanted to establish that for myself on a personal level and have more of a sense of somewhere I belong that\u2019s not just on a film set that ends every few weeks,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty content,\u201d she said. \u201cIf I can have the best of both worlds, which is dip in and out of it occasionally, I\u2019d be really happy. But I wouldn\u2019t ever be in that place where I was just on a treadmill.<\/p>\n
She went on to add: \u201cI want to do more things in life other than be in a trailer. It\u2019s great, and there are lots of great things, [but] the perception of it is quite different from the reality. And it didn\u2019t suit me as a person. You can really lose perspective because you\u2019re treated quite strangely. When that\u2019s your only reality, it\u2019s quite strange.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian actress Mia Wasikowska has made a rare red carpet appearance years after vanishing from Hollywood.
