I never thought I would end up being an actress. I thought I really was going to do serious stuff like law or politics.

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

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.

My American accent is really, really good. I started out in the theater, doing all different characters with all different accents. When I first came to America, I thought I would be playing American, all the time. It was just weird how it worked out that I played more international characters.

I've got a swimming pool and I pretend to be like a mermaid, like in the middle of the night. It kind of de-stresses me.

At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.

As a kid, I never thought I'd be an actress. Never, ever, ever, no way. I was really shy - bordering on social disorder shy - and I was really academic.
