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.

I was so dorky up until I was about 14 or 15 and started to get a little bit cooler, but I was a socks and sandals girl. I would wear big frilly socks with sandals and all the kids would tease me.

I love to challenge myself.

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

Obviously I don't have a stylist for everyday stuff, but for a premiere or something usually the studio will hire someone.

I feel like if I ever got into some sort of rumble on the street, I will actually be able to defend myself.

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