After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.

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.

If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.

I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.

I think we should stop drinking bottled water. There's no need to be drinking it if you're living in western communities.

People talk about the golden age of Hollywood because of how women were lit then. You could be Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and work well into your 50s, because you were lit and made into a goddess. Now, with everything being sort of gritty, women have this sense of their use-by date.

I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
