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

If you're being true to who you are, and the things you believe in, that is so attractive to me.

There aren't a lot of movie star males around my age that I can play opposite.

My parents don't really watch movies at all.

I love being able to help and encourage my friends and I try to inspire them as they do me.

I always have those feelings - lucky and blessed - and I don't know if they'll ever go away. I really hope they don't, as I think it keeps you grounded. That's how I feel about every film I do.

I have to not take myself too seriously and I have to realise that if it is meant to be, it will be.
