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

I stay fat because it just wouldn't be fair to all the thin people if I were this good-looking, intelligent, funny, and thin. It's a public service really.

I think girls who looked like me or were from the poorer area where I'm from in Australia, like you don't think "Oh, I'm going to be a movie star." You just didn't think that would happen to girls like me where I'm from.

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

I think that actresses can be in all different shapes and sizes, but it is a profession, and as an actor, your body is one of your big tools. So you've got to be fit in a sense.

I know, I pick up the roles other actresses don’t want [laughs]. When there’s movies where there are two sisters and one’s the uglier sister, there’s always no actress that wants to go for it. I’m like, why not! They’re the best roles!

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