Ideally, you end up going to auditions not because you want a job but because you want to try out a character.

Actors don't hate acting. Most people don't hate acting! Whether you're a child mucking around with your friends or a grown up being paid to be on a set, pretending to be other people is fun.

The thing is, acting is supposed to be fun - maybe not always in a way that's lighthearted, but always in a way that's satisfying.

I was asked recently about the fact I show my body more in 'Homecoming Queens' than I have in other things and whether that was difficult to do. I never thought twice about it.

I ended up going to America for an acting workshop, and everything sort of kicked off from there.

I speak publicly about the things I am speaking privately about, and there is no difference - the things I'm passionate about and dissecting with my friends and family, the things that are valuable to me, are the things that I publicly share and publicly promote.

I didn't go to university. I studied theatre in high school and worked with Canberra Youth Theatre and The Street Theatre and other theatre organisations in Canberra, and that's how I got my training.

I had never spent any time in Asia before, so when I flew over to film 'Dramaworld' in Seoul, the cast and crew and I became very good friends. That was the first time I had an experience like that, which I treasure and hold dearly.

I started in theatre when I was a teenager, and I sort of fell into screen acting by accident because I had friends who were at university studying how to be filmmakers, and they didn't have to pay me to be in their student films.

When I was sent the material for auditions for 'Dramaworld,' I didn't know much about the international fandom surrounding Korean dramas.

One of the things I love about my job is that it offers me an opportunity to step into different people and different spaces and different kinds of work in every new thing that I do. I'm just looking forward to the surprises I'm going to have.

When we see a difference in media, we're more likely to accept it in our lives, and when we accept it in our lives, we also want to see more of it in media.
