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

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 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.

I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.

It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.

I think she's afraid to even hug me now. It's my fault, but I miss it, Andrew. I miss it so much it aches sometimes, you

So much leather inside my car my horn moos.

I don't think many people get to play big emotions in life.

Be who you are. Find your own voice. Lead from the heart

I am very passionate about non-toxic food and beauty and home.

The two greatest priorities for my government are tackling tax evasion and corruption.

I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there?

On played the Mayor's daughters in Horton Hears a Who: I had never done animation, so I thought it would be cool to try something different.

It's not like I played a villain and everyone goes 'ugh, there's that guy again'.
