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.
People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile; it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.
I'd rather trust nine people and have the 10th one stab me in the back. I'd take that fall in order to have those nine friendships or working relationships instead of having none. That's not living.
It's been helpful to have so many opportunities to look different so people stop pigeonholing you.
Where I'm from on the Gold Coast, we say that there are a lot of 'cashed-up Bogans,' you know, people with no class but a lot of money.
It irritates me so much the way people talk about soaps because it is far more difficult working on a soap than it is on a big studio film.
Something I realized when I moved to America: people get these general American accents, but when they get angry or upset or excited, their original accents come out. It's something I noticed with my manager, because he's from New York, and the first time he got angry, he suddenly had this accent.
People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points. That's how people steal effectively.
I have to keep explaining to people that screen kissing isn't quite the same; it's close, but it isn't quite the same as a normal, real-life kiss.
Once people see you pulling off one role, they think you're a safe bet to do a similar role.
If people are talking about me, I want it to be because of the work I'm doing and not the person I'm seeing.
People don't want to look at you and think, 'Oh, it must have taken her so long to get ready!' It's not as exciting to imagine. They want to imagine your life being - well, the opposite of what it sometimes is, where getting dressed is very regimented, you know? People don't want to know that.
