When I was just a girl in Sydney, no one thought, 'Oh, she's going to be a movie star.' No one. I had to get by with actual skill and talent.

I do acting for the awards... and cash money.

When you're a kid, you don't want to be teased.

Because of my filming commitments in America, you have to sign contracts where you can't change your physical appearance.

Been sitting at home all weekend writing for MTV Movie Awards - unfortunately MTV won't let me do my strip routine ala Magic Mike.

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