- I've lived on the planet long enough to see it happen time and again. Ultimately, you get to a point where you see that no matter how horrific your childhood was, you have much more insight and depth because of the pain you've been through.
- Absolutely, that experience, doing door work for seven years.
- The industry is changing really fast and drama has suffered because of that - there are all these new platforms that have been created but it's still a struggle for an actor in this country.
- I'm pretty much a full-time voice artist and a part-time actor. I do this for a hobby. I would love it to be the other way around.
- To be an actor in Australia you are just grateful for work, I'm grateful to have a job, feel my three kids and pay the mortgage.
- Once I made the decision to put on weight, I stopped training and started eating. It's funny - once I told my body that I was going to stack it on, boom, it just happened.
- I got an agent on Monday, auditioned for McLeod's on Thursday, got the job on Friday and was in Adelaide ready to start filming two weeks later.
- We're all fallible, we make mistakes, experience pain and all those things feed into human experience. As an actor, I suppose I bring that to every role. I don't ever want to feel like I've nailed acting. I've been through periods of my career where I haven't always loved acting, but I've never stopped learning
- On Aussie Soap Neighbours: After working on the show I can see why it is such an important institution.
- It's a fluke. Sometimes I find the roles and sometimes they find me.
- All the actors work so hard, I can see why some of these actors go on to have international careers. It's a great training ground.
- But once I'm in the character I love it because there's nothing better than being able to transform like that. I love looking at a completely different character in the mirror.
- You do notice when you're carrying a bit of weight that people treat you differently. I'm lucky that I'm only doing it for a short amount of time.
- Acting was a huge circuit-breaker for me because it enabled me to express feelings I didn't understand and to let some steam out of the valves. After going to acting class, I would feel much better because I had some form of release.
- At the end of the day, fame and money don't really cut it with me. None of that matters if you can't be around for your children.
