"She's like someone like Claudia Karvan in terms of the preparation of the role. When she comes into rehearsal she is incredibly prepared, which means that she can play. She's not freaking out because she doesn't know the lines."
- Cate Shortland, Somersault director

• She is a brilliant and versatile actress with an amazing body of work.

"I think she is one of the most intuitive young actors I've ever worked with. And I've worked with a lot of young actors over my years of theatre and training actors. She's very instinctive. There's no ego about her and she loves the craft of acting. She's one of these actors that feels something so deeply and intuitively that she almost morphs herself into the character."
- Paul Currie, One Perfect Day director

• She's talented in many areas.

"I've got heaps of dreams. I'd like to keep travelling. I'd love to make more music and make good movies."

• She's independent.

"Moving out was quite easy, to tell you the truth. I was 16 so I was fearless, I didn't worry about anything. If I didn't have money, I just wouldn't eat. If I didn't have money for three days, I just wouldn't eat. By the third day maybe I'd scram some change and get some money for a laksa and that would do me for two days."

• She's an animal rights activist.

"The situation with the bears in China being farmed for their stomach bile really overwhelms me. Japanese whaling, the clubbing of seals for furs, animal transport conditions and of course, our issues here at home, and all over the world of factory farming - pigs, cows, and chickens." She says if there is one thing she could do for animals it would be to "Abolish suffering."

• She's humble and down to earth.

"I don't think blockbuster movies really appeal to me. The thing is, I'm still that person from the farm."

• She loves traveling and exploring the world.

"All the little bits in between... Are a waiting period for me, where I'm making the money to be able to travel again.
