It's really rare to get a teenage role that resembles something of what it's like to be a young person, that isn't a cliché or a stereotype.

I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.

I read a lot of books. So, usually when I go home I try to re-charge my batteries and absorb new stories to become inspired again.

Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three.

Feminism is just about equality, really, and there's so much stuff attached to the word, when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.

I'm a huge sucker for comfort.

It's hard to tell what people realize. Everybody's different and has a different understanding of the difference in times.

I hate the feeling when I'm overseas, away from Australia, that I'm trapped, blocked by an ocean from getting to the people I love. That gives me anxiety.

You definitely put a bit of yourself in every character, and you always have to have an understanding and empathy for the person that you play.

Whenever you keep score in love, you lose.

You should welcome pain

Parenthood is the opiate of the masses.

Too often, we get attention and sympathy by being a victim. If we're invested in someone being our villain, we must love being the victim. We have to let go of both characters in the story.

People were making fun of redheads before I came along.

I want you to know you're in my heart... growing into a beautiful garden.

Writing, madam, is a mechanic part of wit. A gentleman should never go beyond a song or a billet.

I had an old typewriter and a big idea.

Treat each guitar track-and each song-completely different. For example, if I'm using a certain amp and guitar on one track, I'll deliberately use something else for the next tune or overdub.

There is no good way of measuring poverty.
