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

I live in L.A. and I do have wonderful friends

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.

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

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.

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

I want to touch people’s lives, and bring them along with me.

Constant dripping hollows out a stone.

On the contrary, it can only be conserved by continuous and good practice.

He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.

Each of us must turn inward and destroy in himself all that he thinks he ought to destroy in others.

Look at a man in the midst of doubt & danger and you will learn in his hour of adversity what he really is.

We must recover the element of quality in our traditional pursuit of equality.

It is not fair to treat as serious that which is only said in joke.
