I don't want to scrounge around and be homeless, and I want to finish my education.

I want to be able to have a conversation with people. I don't want to be stupid. I'd like to have a life outside acting.

I do chores around the house, but I don't get an allowance for them. I wash the dishes and sweep the floor... I'm sweeping the floor quite a lot, and my mum always expects me to get a broom and swagger it across the floor all the time.

A school out of Canberra sends me a term's worth of work. I sit on the couch by myself and complete it and send it back.

I find that you learn from others. It's very much about watching TV and watching movies for me and grasping that way and watching other people act.

I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.
