“I’m a big fan of Tom Stoppard’s work, and have been since I was in school where I studied him.”

I moved there when I was 19 so I developed a close knit group of friends

I like to go in the opposite direction and do a short film, or something else.

None of whom are actors, none of which are Australian, but I couldn’t do it long term.

I’ve done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max.

I’m very analytical about the industry and I understand that there are value systems, and all sorts of things like that.

I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.

I love new cities, and if I haven’t travelled for a month, the need to go somewhere starts to gets under my skin.

We had to, as children, adapt to various situations with either a military family or things like that.

I really like being thrown into the works. Many actors, I have found, have this as a common trait.

I enjoy everything. After one particular experience of work

Although my father is English, I was brought up in Australia.

I remember vividly one distinct memory of arriving in Hong Kong

And being the only blonde haired girl in this sea of international students, and thinking, ‘Oh, my God. There’s no hiding here.

In a photo shoot, you have to be very comfortable in your own skin.

It’s all about confidence-boosting and putting on armor.

Generally, I play the kind of ethereal, fragile-on-the-outside-but-hard-and-damaged-on-the-inside type.

I’m not saying that negatively. It’s healthy.

Love has both its gall and honey in abundance: it has sweetness to the taste, but it presents bitterness also to satiety.

And you don’t want them to look at you in a negative light.

Time is the best preserver of righteous men.

It’s a good way of getting you into the zone for the scene.

I just find it hard to believe that anyone would stop me to share how much they loved something that I was a part of.

There is no place in nature for extinction.

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.
