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.
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.'
It's almost impossible to get a movie all together when there are two main cast members, let alone an ensemble cast with everyone's schedules. It's crazy if it works out.
I always have more fun when I stay in hostels - you just meet so many more people. A hotel makes sense when you're doing work things, but travelling, you don't really get a feel for a place if you're in a hotel. I find it seems to make it all feel like everywhere else.
People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points. That's how people steal effectively.
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.
If you've worked in Australia, you can't get away with bad behaviour like showing up late. We take our work ethic very seriously.
Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.
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.
