I'm one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.

My mum is an artist and very into creative expression and freedom.

Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star.

I didn't actually know what a vegetarian was until I was 13 years old. I know in this day and age it's hard to believe that, but I think because I grew up on a farm, I wasn't indulged in magazines, newspapers, Internet, television. And so, for some reason, I was never exposed to what a vegetarian was.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

In this eventful period the colony of New South Wales is already far advanced.
