I came from rather humble beginnings.

I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.

I'd always dreamt of acting but, in Adelaide, we don't have exposure to the opportunities that make stardom a possibility.

As a producer you have creative control, and that's what is so exciting about it. At the end of the day, if you have made a film it's totally your responsibility, and if it works it's your responsibility and if it doesn't it's also your responsibility.

As actors we give so much of ourselves away so I like to keep my personal life to myself.

If you are having fun on screen, it shows.

I haven't met everyone from all different cultures, but I do know Aussies are very tough.
