I'm definitely attracted to other Australians; I have a laid-back attitude to life that I feel is very Australian; I love a good barbie.
You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There's fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.
In Hollywood, you feel a responsibility to look less disheveled than you are. But I'm a mom, and I'm not good at putting time into prepping.
I love religions and find them fascinating, and I find Judaism very beautiful. It's enriched my life enormously.
I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.
Family is 100 per cent my top priority.
Comedy has always been important in my family. If you got in a good joke at the dinner table, it meant more than almost anything else.
I breastfed both my kids for two years so, you know it was very tiring emotionally and physically.
I usually go into a store with a mission. My idea of a fun thing to do would not be to go to a mall and shopping.
I do consider myself to be a feminist.
Growing up, there wasn't much emphasis on being nice or naughty. As a family, there wasn't much discipline. It was more relaxed at home, which I'm grateful for.
I find weddings really boring. They give speeches, your aunt kisses you on the cheek, and you're at a boring table. But it's different when it's your own.
My name is actually quite a popular name in Scotland. People elsewhere always think it's far more exotic than it is. In Scotland, it's a common name.
I think there is nothing sexier than a handlebar moustache.
