I always had long hair. When you lose it, you realise just how important it is to your identity.
I’m still human – I can’t not feel.
I love having my hair back. It is so important to how you feel, how you dress, how you look.
Well, Neighbours wanted to do a song on the show, and they asked me what songs I had. I told them I’d just written this song, called Born to Try, and I had just gone overseas and spoken to some people from Song about it.
I’d just recorded it in Mariah Carey’s studio. THey thought the song was perfect for Nina, because she’s so shy, so it was nice to have that connection with Nina in the song. It was special.
I’m enjoying writing songs that are more stripped back.
I’m not worried any more about changing people’s view of me.
I believe the impossible is possible to overcome I believe in miracles Born from love in everyone.
At 18, I felt I was too young to think about having my eggs frozen.

I believe that in music and in a lot of things it’s kind of like surfing, you can have a really big wave sometimes and then you can have a smaller wave.
Im thankful for my songs being at the top of the charts but I am human – I think people still have to remember that.
What a strange turn of events.
Hodgkin’s is serious and I don’t want to be dismissive about it, but there are people who have gone through much worse and lost their lives to cancer.
I was at number one in Australia with both my album and my single. And then I was told I had cancer. I thought, ‘What a strange turn of events.’
The second album was emotionally exhausting and my life felt like it had become very serious at a very young age.
I think Taj and Nina were better friends, because they get along, they have a lot of fun and they laugh. But it seems that Nina and Jack really hit it off. Nina really fell in love with Jack. there’s a lot of chemistry between them!
Most people’s journeys haven’t been as disjointed as mine.
I started performing at school and drama classes when I was 7.
Sport was my absolute love. It was very sporty household. We had my – my brother and I both loved sports.
When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.
