Michael Jackson has been my idol since before I could even walk.

Aussie culture is pretty relaxed in general, but at the same time people know how to work really hard to go above and beyond what's expected of them.

If you truly love something, fight for it every day, as long as it makes you happy.

America was always a huge goal, if not the goal. I always wanted to move to America. I always wanted to come here and see what opportunities were around. I really only got a couple of auditions a year when I was in Australia, for acting work.

I didn't grow up with my dad so I don't know much at all about my heritage.

I'm living for myself, everything I do is to achieve my goals, so I'd love to stop caring so much about what I want by then and maybe focus on a bigger picture.

I respect anyone who achieves something that countless others have dared to try before and failed.
