The writing is so great on TV now; it's such a pleasure to watch.

Women watch plenty of television and theater. They're consumers, like everybody else. I think people don't thinking women go to the movies is a thing that still has to be addressed and changed.

I've already started saying that I'm 30 when I'm still 29. That way, I'm already there.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

TV is very much a producer and writer or creator-driven machine in the States. And I'm the kind of actor that needs to be pushed and have someone on my case a little bit, so I suffer from that.

My parents were so relaxed by the time I was growing up that I got away with a lot more.

My parents weren't in the arts, but we grew up in Balmain, which at that time was an artistic, bohemian suburb of Sydney. It's a lot more gentrified now. It was very working class, pubs on every corner because it's right by the water so a lot of the guys on the ships and the boats used to go and drink there. It's very posh now.
