People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.
My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
Look, it's one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I'm vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don't know.
Every single pore - not on the men, but on the women - is scrutinized, so I am really grateful that I feel very confident in my own skin.
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
I just don't see myself as the heroine in my own narrative.
I'm incredibly lucky that my profession allows me to be where I choose, really.
I am the age that I am and I am trying to do the best with what I got.
I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.
I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.
We change people's lives, at the risk of our own. We change countries, governments, history, gravity. After gravity, culture is the thing that holds humanity in place, in an otherwise constantly shifting and, let's face it, tiny outcrop in the middle of an infinity of nowhere.
Fashion is one thing, you kind of can change your silhouette and try this and try that. But I think that with skin care, you know anything that you put into your skin goes into your body, so you want to know it's actually good for you. So I think I don't believe in fashion when it comes to skin care if that makes sense.
Oh god, I wish. I really wish. If I'm time-poor, which I usually am, that's the first thing to go. And I know it shouldn't be, I know I should be really regular, but I like to get it done as quickly as possible.
I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
