There’s something so comforting to me about having a cup of tea, and it really needs to be made with love – I can taste the difference.
I’ve always been very comfortable wearing not much, in my swimwear or my underwear, or running around naked. I’ve always been very free like that. I don’t really know why, exactly, but I just have been. Not really too shy about that.
If I was as relaxed as what I perceived myself to be, I would not be able to multi-task the way I multi-task.
I’m very direct. It’s part of my personality. I’ve actually grown into that.
I’m really into rooibos tea with goat’s milk and a little bit of honey. I also drink dandelion tea, Earl Grey, and sometimes a green tea. I’m very into tea.
Women, I think we can feel like we need to do it all and be it all. What’s important is that we do the best we can, and just make time for yourself because when you do make time for yourself, you give back more as a mother; you give back more to your work.
I’m a pretty driven person, and I’ve accepted that about myself. For a long time, I was like, ‘I’m a very laid-back person, I grew up in the country,’ but I’m also very driven, otherwise I wouldn’t be where I am right now.
As a child, I was very active. I was a gymnast, I played touch football, netball and basketball. When I was 16 years old, I started yoga. I started working out at an early age.
A celebrity life can be very fast-paced, and it can be hard to find meaning in it. I believe that everyone is looking for the answers, but the answers are within ourselves.
I’m that person who says, ‘No matter what the problem is, there’s a solution.’ That’s the way my brain is wired. If someone says to me, ‘Well, that’s not possible. It can’t happen,’ I say, ‘Yes it is. I’m going to sit here and show you that it can.’
Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.
I’m quite tactile, so I like fabrics that feel good. I try to avoid fabrics that crease – especially with my son. When you have a child, that’s important. A great pair of a jeans, a t-shirt and some loafers, that’s what I always wear.
I celebrated my 18th birthday in Japan, which was quite memorable; I was quite fascinated by the different traditions and the culture; it was so completely different to Australian culture.
I guess I’m just an open-hearted, fair, good person. I try to encourage people to be their best and look inside themselves and find out what they are passionate about and expand on that and enjoy life.
I think for any relationship to be successful, there needs to be loving communication, appreciation, and understanding.
All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too.
I work really, really hard and it’s challenging going through all of those time zones and having to be awake when you’re supposed to be asleep. I literally fly more than a pilot.
Every day, put a little makeup on, put on some nice underwear, and you’ll keep your husband.
My parents both worked – my mom was an accountant, and my dad is a builder – and that taught me about having a really strong work ethic, and I respected them a lot for that.
If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you’re laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.
