I love rapping. I do. My styling's similar to Missy Elliott - I think she's so dope. In a weird way, that's how I first learned the American accent: doing American rap songs.

I stay fat because it just wouldn't be fair to all the thin people if I were this good-looking, intelligent, funny, and thin. It's a public service really.

At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.

Even when I'm playing someone named 'Fat Amy.' I'm all about confidence and attitude.

I contracted malaria in rural Mozambique. I was a youth ambassador for Australia. For a year after high school, you give positive speeches about Australia and as part of it I traveled to lots of different countries.

A League of Their Own' had some special meaning for me, I guess - it's about women joining together and being empowered, but also about sisters sticking together even when there's drama and struggles. I'm really close to my two sisters and my brother, so I liked that about it.

I really like writing from real-life experiences. Audiences seem to prefer the stuff I couldn't have made up.
