On how she found her style:

“I never really paid much attention to fashion growing up. It’s really just colours or the way that things are woven. It’s individual vintage pieces I love, but then when Chanel sends you a beautiful skirt, that’s special too.”

On what she’s learnt from Hollywood:

“I like playing smaller characters in films. It’s been feeling right not to have all the weight on me to carry it. That will come along when it makes sense. On a film I did called Daybreakers, I would go on the set and spend hours watching Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe.”

On how acting has brought her out her shell:

“I was shy when I was young, and I wouldn’t have had the guts to go after it myself. But then I did acting courses for a year and Home and Away was my first audition. I remember being overwhelmed by the fact people would even see me for an audition. I got booked and it was a big shift. Suddenly I was 18 and moving to Sydney. Acting has helped me come out of my shell. I always thought I was too sensitive, but now I know I can channel that for work.”

On writing:

“Angus (her boyfriend, the singer, Angus Stone) is a beautiful writer and that inspires me. I’ve been writing diaries since I was six. Sometimes it’s to get clarity on a certain issue, or to never forget something that I want to savour… Maybe it’s my form of therapy.”
