I think it’s because there's quite a few of us now but because we’re less frequent than American actors - because Hollywood is the place to be for actors - and there's just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there's less of them.

I want to be able to have a conversation with people. I don't want to be stupid. I'd like to have a life outside acting.
