Having a partner who has nothing to do with Hollywood helps keep things in perspective.

There's a sense of humor within the Australian culture that prevails when one is in a rather difficult situation.

I grew up with such an affinity to cats. I adore the way that they think and operate.

The funny thing is, because I was doing a lot of theater when I was a kid, and a lot of that was musical theater, as I got older I became more interested in acting as a separate entity and music as a separate entity, like songwriting and production and recording and playing music.

Because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.

I really enjoy doing things that are more subtle and close to home - and literally close to home.

Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.
