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

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

I think Russell Crowe is a brilliant actor.

When I was younger I did karate and martial arts, and I think it's really cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities.

I do notice that when I come in to meet casting people, they love that I'm Australian. Maybe it's our good work ethic.

I know, I pick up the roles other actresses don’t want [laughs]. When there’s movies where there are two sisters and one’s the uglier sister, there’s always no actress that wants to go for it. I’m like, why not! They’re the best roles!

When I first came to America, I went into William Morris Endeavor for a meeting and I was like, "Yeah, I'm from Australia and I do comedy." I think that one of the reasons they signed me is because I wasn't like any other girl. Maybe girls don't get encouraged. The ones who get encouraged to move to Hollywood are the prettiest ones in their hometown of Iowa, or something. Whereas for me, where I come from in the western suburbs of Sydney, no one ever thought professional actors would come from there. Even my own family was like, "No one would want you on a show."
