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

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes the solution of a problem is just the perspective of thinking.

Sometimes a dream can appear more real than reality itself.

Life fits the shoe you walk in.

Culture and holiness must be made compatible in the environment of the kingdom

We make it all up, even that we don't.

I don't want to just see someone's face; I want to know his shadow, too. —Jude

Authority is just and faithful in all matters of promise-keeping; it is also considerate, and that is why a good mother is the best home-ruler.

Sweet life continues in the breeze, in the golden fields.

Human beings can be awful cruel to one another.

Expensive clothes are a waste of money.
