I entered the work force cleaning breast pumps at a pharmacy! It was a part-time gig while I was at school... no interview required.
For three years, I had embarrassing haircuts.
At home in Victoria, we have three dogs, Tosh and Lucy, they're half Blue Heelers, and then there's Torrin a little Maltese terrier. She gets more attention in the house than anyone else! Yes, I miss them a lot.
I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do
Eating when you're not hungry and taking in that amount of food is exhausting.
I enjoy working on a movie that lets your imagination run wild, it's great to be a part of and watch.
Having a director who is also an actor makes for that very relaxed way of working and it's empowering.
As a kid, I loved any fantasy.
There’s a lot of pressure playing something that existed for so many years before you were involved, and already has a fan base. I approached it by doing it as well as I can.
I'm not into watching stuff I did last week, let alone three or four years ago.
Strong female leads are important.
It's much easier to hate someone on screen, if you actually like them off screen. It's a more enjoyable ride. There's nothing personal about it.
I get to stay active and that is my job at the moment, so I can't complain.
I went from sort of trying to get work to all of a sudden being signed up for the next few years on something, and something of this scale with some of the best people in the business involved, acting and directing. It was a dream.
