I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case, I sort of fell into acting.

I came from rather humble beginnings.

I think Aussies try to stay humble.

I'm a workaholic, I always try to fill my time with projects.

I haven't met everyone from all different cultures, but I do know Aussies are very tough.

As actors we give so much of ourselves away so I like to keep my personal life to myself.

I was so dorky up until I was about 14 or 15 and started to get a little bit cooler, but I was a socks and sandals girl. I would wear big frilly socks with sandals and all the kids would tease me.

I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I'd spend a quiet week with my mum, then I'd go to my dad's property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.

I feel like if I ever got into some sort of rumble on the street, I will actually be able to defend myself.

I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.

I'd always dreamt of acting but, in Adelaide, we don't have exposure to the opportunities that make stardom a possibility.

Maybe true travel is not the transportation of the body, but a change of perception, renewing the mind.

Let's dance and sing and make good cheer For Christmas comes but once a year.

You can't rely on your own perception when it comes to anything. You can always be proved wrong.

Creativity is what makes humanity move. We were created to participate.

I'm not raising the children, I'm raising the grown ups that they're going to be.

Love was like a steamroller. There was no avoiding it; it went over you and you came out flat.

If I do marry I want it to be for love
