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

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

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

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.

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 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.
