I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

Australians, we've got a very healthy sense of humor in us. God forbid we take ourselves too seriously so it's kind of a cultural trait.

As an artist I just think comedic actors are really underrated.

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

What's weird about the cinema business is that you have to have a thick skin while remaining vulnerable as an artist. It comes with time. You get dumped, your heart gets broken.

The good thing about having a kid is you don't think about that as much. Like when I turned 30, for instance, that was much more momentous. Forty is particularly great for a woman. It's a big thing.

I was very, very shy when I was little. Acting lets you access all those different parts of yourself to make the character authentic.
