Ah, my dad's whistle. On holidays when I was a kid, we would all be off in the rock pools along the beach. When it came time to go, we'd hear the whistle and we'd all come running. Like dogs!

I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.

I kept on going and I overcame my fears and got over my insecurities.

I have just wanted to be an actress. That's always been my goal. I didn't want to be famous.

Having just had a baby, I'm not going to be thinking about my arse.

I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is.

I simply couldn’t conceive of how devastating it would be not to be able to hear my children’s voices. Not to be able to communicate with them, to hear them learn, grow, and express themselves verbally. How fortunate, how blessed I am. This overwhelmed me. I can talk to my children, I can respond to their needs and comfort them when they tell me they are unwell. I can tell them stories and hear them tell theirs.
