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

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’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.

I think I continue to work because I’m good at my craft.

The gods give that man some profit to whom they are propitious.

On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers.

Were a man to order his life by the rules of true reason, a frugal substance joined to a contented mind is for him great riches; for never is there any lack of a little.

These the senses we trust, first, last, and always.

Life is too short to do something you don’t want to do.

Various are the uses of friends, beyond all else in difficulty, but joy also looks for trust that is clear in the eyes.

Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
