I've worked everywhere. I worked in a warehouse packing surf supplies, a restaurant washing dishes, in retail, and I was a 'sandwich artist' at Subway.
I started working on a TV show in Australia, straight out of high school, so I missed the whole university experience.
People don't really know about 'Neighbours' in America, and if they have heard of it, it's only in the context of 'Oh, sure, that's what Guy Pearce was on', or Kylie Minogue.
People ask me, 'How do you remember your lines?' That's nothing. That is the least of my concerns.
People ask me all the time what it is about Australia that produces so many big stars. Honestly, I believe it is a combination of things. Our education standards are quite high, but our industry is very limited. Yet we're very aware of the industry - everyone goes to the theater, sees TV shows.
Everyone's set the bar really high and expects me to be brilliant.
My mother's family raised grains and crops. My father's grew sugarcane and mangos. So I knew more about the basics of farming than of acting.
I won't take parts where the female character has no substance.
I still have my agent back in Australia keeping an eye on things there, and we are trying to find the right job which will bring me home to shoot.
When I first tried the American accent, for a moment I thought I could never be an actor because I just could not do it. But then I thought, 'Okay, it'll just be something that I work at until I get it.'
I have an irrational fear that I'm going to have a gruesome and untimely death because so many wonderful things are happening to me.
Even I admit I may have peaked too soon.
I swear I'm not bossy in any other aspect of my life - it's just on set.
My hockey is good, but my ice skating is terrible. It's a bit of a mess to watch!
