It sounds corny to say, but it was really inspiring seeing kids that were just living and connecting with people. That was something I really understood, the need and want for connection, and fun, and it not needing to be sympathetic, just sort of good fun.

I definitely have an appreciation for fashion.

You never choose the way that you're raised, it's just the way that you were raised, but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.

The independent films are really where I kind of come from and where I feel comfortable.

Acting really suited me because I could connect as an actor to emotion.

It's really rare to get a teenage role that resembles something of what it's like to be a young person, that isn't a cliché or a stereotype.

I hate the feeling when I'm overseas, away from Australia, that I'm trapped, blocked by an ocean from getting to the people I love. That gives me anxiety.
