Quotes #1
I’ve wanted to play Marilyn Monroe for a very long time. At the moment I am still too young for this role, but I am determined to do it.
I never took any acting training. They say Home and Away is a bit of a training ground for an actor, and I think that’s true. You do learn a lot from being on the show, but it’s a little different.
Quotes #2
Due to the nature of our lifestyle, I had difficulty being shy and making friends at new schools. Someone suggested to my parents, “Oh, maybe she should try taking an acting class to bring her out of her shell.”
I remember at that age, in high school, I was in abusive relationships with other girls. If your friends lie to you or hurt your feelings, it feels like betrayal.
Quotes #3
What I love about acting is the freedom of being on stage and playing a character.
Because of the nature of the film industry, it’s a little dangerous to think too far ahead. So at the moment I just accept everything that happens to me every day.
