I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.
I look back on my life like everybody does but not just career. I mean I look back on my life as a whole, so I don't think that I dwell there or anything and in terms of work I hope that there is a lot in front of me.
I just think Australia tends to make very good movies, so if someone hands me an Australian or an American film script I would guess the Australian film would be more intriguing.
I know actors come around and they always talk like that, but I don't do publicity if I don't like the film.
It's also very painful, because I feel, and I know, probably all women my age and older feel like we're better and have more to give and are more fun now.
We measure success and depth by length of time, but it is possible to have a deep relationship that doesn't always stay the same.
Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.
Everything will be better in the morning. It always is.
I'm afraid of being lazy and complacent. I'm afraid of taking myself too seriously.
I like the sensibility of Australian film a lot and the crews are fantastic. Great characters, wonderful people and no line between - I think in Hollywood they have this line between actors and crew a lot, and that just didn't exist, which I really appreciated.
Sydney's a beautiful city. It was a great experience.
