The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even, I think it's super sweet and it's very attractive for a female.

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.

Pray about everything you want.

Freedom is an expensive gift always worth fighting for. Even if it costs us!

I'm a survivalist and a survivor.

I love horror movies, but it's not the only thing I want to do.

This thing called rhymin' is no different than coal minin'; We both on assignment to unearth the diamond.

It is a good life, if you're doing what you like doing.

Sign language is the equal of speech, lending itself equally to the rigorous and the poetic, to philosophical analysis or to making love.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I split my time between the West Coast and the East.
