“I had an amazing childhood.”

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

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.

It never ceases to amaze me to see how much territory can be grasped if one merely masters and consistently uses all the obvious and easily learned principles.

You’ll know you’re amazing when you get devoted to making other people amazing.

Everyone should have their mind blown once a day.

I’m amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I’m so lucky, though my mum always says, ‘You make your own luck.’

It’s amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough. Most people give up too early.

I’m always amazed at anyone’s interest in what I have to say.

When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change ’cause you’re are amazing just the way you are.

I never thought that I would have love again, but it’s amazing how the universe brings love to you.
