I guess in Australia every film is sort of an indie film because there are no studios.

Whether it's a movie I'm in or not, if there's a good movie, and it's low budget, and you know everyone's done it just because they were passionate about it and they cared for it, if it has any kind of audience, it's just a wonderful outcome.

Independent films have a certain freedom about them - there isn't so much at stake in terms of money. I think they're more interesting because they're not watered down to appeal to the masses. They tend to have a unique voice.

I've never had a game plan. It's just if something comes along and it feels right in the moment.

After 'Muriel's Wedding,' I first went to America, and I was sent all these scripts about fat girls overcoming hurdles. Something in me knew not to go down that road, even if it was a good script.

I love holidays. It's such a wonderful time for the whole family to be together and not have to worry about schedules and that kind of thing.
