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.

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.

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

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.

Work hard to achieve integrity in your work and your relationships with the people you work with.

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.
