Quotes

• The music I love listening to is more of the Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Dido, Jewel Kilcher, Norah Jones, Joss Stone, a bit more of that organic live-instrumentation feel.
• Music I can discover a part of myself that I haven't been able to for a long time, and acting is the opposite. I'm in love with both of them and I would never choose one over the other.
• Australia is an island surrounded by water. My fondest memories growing up were trips to the beach, walking around the harbour and playing in the beautiful parks.
• Singing is and always will be a part of my life.
• I always wanted to perform. I remember being 5 years old and telling my parents to sit down as I was going to put on a play for them.
• If I ever had to be on an amusement park ride, I probably wouldn't get on one; I'm not a very adventurous person!
• I grew up listening to most of my parents' music, like The Beatles and ABBA and all that stuff.
• In Australia, there is a very famous show called Home and Away (1988). I was cast on that at 15. The day I started filming, my life changed.
• I'm a perfectionist about being on time.
