I love to challenge 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 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.

The challenge of our generation, whether it's young lawyers, young investment bankers, is to make capitalism work for people not just around the corner, but for people all around the world.

The only thing we are sure to fail is that which we do not attempt

I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.
