Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.
I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me.
I was always very dramatic – my family would probably use the word ‘dramatic’ – as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.
I try to remind myself that all of this could be over tomorrow, because I could wake up and magically be 35 feet tall and not be able to act in movies anymore.
Everyone’s like, ‘overnight sensation.’ It’s not overnight. It’s years of hard work.
When you look at movies, the lead girl is always gorgeous and thin. There is a stereotype that you need to look a certain way and when you get in the business you really feel the pressure.
I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can’t have emails go through. It’s undisturbed.

Once people see you pulling off one role, they think youre a safe bet to do a similar role.
I just try to keep healthy more so than trying to be thin.
Every time I see a piano, I have this urge to play it.
I kind of left everyone behind in Australia – all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend.
There are those who build careers and companies just out of being popular on Instagram, but theres nothing behind them.
New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It’s amazing.
Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.
Someone told me that you could learn to sing, and that there are muscles that if you build, you will sing.
No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.
There is something about being people from your home country in a different country. It bonds you together.
The ’60s are my favorite decade – with the Cold War, the women’s movement. And then there’s the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair.
It’s fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!
