I love it when the director says, 'Rebel, just do whatever you want.' I'm, like, 'Yes!

I think girls who looked like me or were from the poorer area where I'm from in Australia, like you don't think "Oh, I'm going to be a movie star." You just didn't think that would happen to girls like me where I'm from.

I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.

For a comedienne, you have to have a little tragedy or a dark side, just not too much. Otherwise it's too disruptive.

I don’t really care what I look like that much, and I think women out there should just be happy with the way they look. They shouldn’t really try to conform to any kind of stereotype. Just be happy and hopefully healthy.

I think that is a really good message, especially for young girls to hear. The fact that someone like me from the western suburbs of Sydney could become an actress in movies who didn't look like a regular actress, and that I can make it I think gives a lot of hope to other girls who are really creative and don't necessarily follow the standard of what some people consider beauty to be.
