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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
