You've got to pick your roles really carefully. It's a lot more fun to play a layered woman, than just someone where what you see is what you get, by far.

I think Australians do well here because we feel a bit naughty, like we're in America and if they only knew how much fun we were having, we'd all get thrown out, you know.

No matter what the character is, I just say to myself 'If I, Melissa George, was in that situation, how would I react?' and once you do that you can just go for it, and hopefully the performance comes through.

I don't know, I think people who meet me just get pretty much what I am.

Everytime I get offered theatre I get offered a film role too.

Jennifer Garner and I are very close.

The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
