“I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.”

My mum is an artist and very into creative expression and freedom.

I play the keyboard, piano – I like making beats.

I’m a fan of Bradley Cooper’s.

I’m one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.

I’m always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

I read everything I could find: books and online. Sometimes bigger revelations came to me through finer details or something that you wouldn’t pick up just by surface reading.

I love people who really turn their lives around. I think it’s such a wonderful human trait.

I wasn’t interested in fame or fortune. I was interested in being an actor and being creative. I was very adamant about that.

I love love stories, no matter how dark.

In real life, I’m pretty much an eternal optimist.

A lot of people I make music with are really talented and it doesn’t stop at one instrument.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

I’ve been rapping since I was 18 years old, with a crew called Blades.

I think it’s really important to live in the moment.

Because I don’t have a child and as much as you can sort of imagine it it’s always nice to hear from all different walks of life what motherhood is like and what that feels like. And particularly young mothers.

I’m a bit hyperactive as an actor, I like to keep moving.

Just get out your magic pencil and erase the cloudy skies, and just draw a picture of me saying, I apologize.

I may be the old-media id, but I think I may be entitled to some credit for being a new-media pioneer.

There’s the media-driven universe, in which the public perceives you in a superficial way. Then there’s the universe that you actually inhabit, where you have to get up even if you didn’t sleep so well, and you feel like crap and your face is swollen.

We unashamedly lied, and yet our statements were quoted [by the media] as though they had been written in law.

The truth is that the antiwar movement was powered by the working class. The students were the ones that got the media and so forth, but it was the soldiers on the ground who really energized the antiwar movement in the late Sixties.

The media only wants to get the view of the flaming radicals because they make better copy than those of us who are more sensible. I’m a feminist and I think I’ve done a lot of good.

Anyone, any type of story, it doesnt have to be a crime victim, you dont have to let yourself be food for the media.

What is being said in media in other parts of the world is very different from what we’ve been told in this country throughout these years between September 11 and today.
