Australians, we've got a very healthy sense of humor in us. God forbid we take ourselves too seriously so it's kind of a cultural trait.

I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it's on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I'm Australian, so I'm not too flashy or glitzy.

Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

I'm generally a people-pleaser so I get high anxiety from any sort of confrontation.

I was very, very shy when I was little. Acting lets you access all those different parts of yourself to make the character authentic.

It is in doing things and not reading about them that results come about.

Using money in one’s attempt to put an end to poverty is like using a border in one’s attempt to put an end to xenophobia.

Only feeble minds are paralyzed by facts.

Success tended to make the unorthodox acceptable

Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.

Acting of some actors seems natural, because they have no talent.

If technology is not a metaphor for memory, what is it?

the best leaders try to train their followers themselves to become leaders. ... they wish to be leaders of leaders.

We must try to contribute joy to the world.

Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.
