“No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.”

Someone told me that you could learn to sing, and that there are muscles that if you build, you will sing.

I know that my look is more “toothpaste model” as opposed to artsy, which sucks because I can play those roles.

I just try to keep healthy more so than trying to be thin.

I kind of left everyone behind in Australia – all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend.

It’s fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

Everyone’s like, ‘overnight sensation.’ It’s not overnight. It’s years of hard work.

I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can’t have emails go through. It’s undisturbed.

I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me.

I try to remind myself that all of this could be over tomorrow, because I could wake up and magically be 35 feet tall and not be able to act in movies anymore.

I was in a movie for five minutes where I play tennis and I was given five tennis lessons for free. I never had a tennis lesson. I was like, that’s awesome! When else would I have taken up tennis?

Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.

I was always very dramatic – my family would probably use the word ‘dramatic’ – as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.

I don’t even know how to Direct Message someone on Instagram. I still write letters.

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

I think they’ve finally realized that women go to see movies as much as men do. Ticket sales are coming from them as well, so why not appeal to them? I think they’re finding a way.

I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I’m staying at a friend’s house or something. I’m very old school.
