As actors we give so much of ourselves away so I like to keep my personal life to myself.

I came from rather humble beginnings.

I think Aussies try to stay humble.

I'm a workaholic, I always try to fill my time with projects.

I haven't met everyone from all different cultures, but I do know Aussies are very tough.

I was so dorky up until I was about 14 or 15 and started to get a little bit cooler, but I was a socks and sandals girl. I would wear big frilly socks with sandals and all the kids would tease me.

I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I'd spend a quiet week with my mum, then I'd go to my dad's property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.

I feel like if I ever got into some sort of rumble on the street, I will actually be able to defend myself.

I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.

I'd always dreamt of acting but, in Adelaide, we don't have exposure to the opportunities that make stardom a possibility.

I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.

It’s like you’re always living in your head. . . . Relax and appreciate your surroundings a little.

Being real is being true to you.

Don't keep looking for "something" in the bag of "nothing". You will see the same thing again and again no matter how many times you repeat the look.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

I've been glued to the TV. I am absolutely devastated.

I'm pulling out, and I'm going to concentrate every ounce of time and energy over the next week working to defeat the recall because I realize now that's the only way to defeat Arnold Schwarzenegger.

How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?

“Doesn't have to be easy to be right.” In that case, we're meant for each other.

The ultimate aim of the gospel is the display of God’s glory.

If brute force doesn't work, you aren't using enough
