My parents were so relaxed by the time I was growing up that I got away with a lot more.
I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.
I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.
I've already started saying that I'm 30 when I'm still 29. That way, I'm already there.
I tend to spiral out of control if I'm not working. I get panicked and don't know what to do with myself.
Australians, we've got a very healthy sense of humor in us. God forbid we take ourselves too seriously so it's kind of a cultural trait.
There's a lot of intensity when you're on a set. And then it just goes away and no one's giving you attention or flooding you with compliments.
The British are so funny.
It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.
I think diversity for most actors is such a blessing. It's something definitely I've strived for.
I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.
I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.
I think its important to keep an element of fear about yourself because it makes you appreciate the jobs.
I often do very serious roles, but really I am a big clown.
