“When you're a kid, you don't want to be teased.”
“If I get two lines in the script, I somehow turn it into 20. I've got a bit of a bad habit of doing that, of just embellishing my little moment.”
“I do notice on Twitter that a lot of girls write to me, and they either say, 'I want to be your best friend,' or they say, 'I have a total girl crush on you.' I'm like, 'Awww.'”
“Get ready for 'Les Mis 2'... I'm playing 'Fat Cosette.'”
“When I was younger I did karate and martial arts, and I think it's really cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities.”
“I was planning to go into law or politics. I was well known for my public speaking. I went to an all-girl boarding school with uniforms. It was very posh for someone like me who came from a world where my parents showed beagles and sold dog products out of a yellow caravan.”
“At first I moved from Sydney to Melbourne, because most of the comedy was shot in Melbourne, and then from Melbourne to Los Angeles - and you have to sacrifice stuff.”
“No one in my family is in show business, unless you count dog shows as show business.”
“Work hard to achieve integrity in your work and your relationships with the people you work with.”
“I wrote my own play, 'The Westie Monologues,' about where I'm from in Australia, and it was very successful. From that, I started getting offers from television.”
“In 'A Few Best Men,' I play a lesbian character. I played the lesbian sister of the bride who ends up kissing a dude at the end, but she was, like, a full-on lesbian in that. And I beat out famous Australian lesbians for the role.”
“Up until the age of 12, I went to dog shows every weekend. Mum showed beagles. It's a really competitive and eclectic world filled with characters who wear interesting outfits - similar to 'Toddlers & Tiaras,' but with dogs.”
“There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.”
“What they do in America in all those sitcoms is hire glamorous girls and they're never that funny... that's because they've never had to develop a personality because they're hot.”
“I really like writing from real-life experiences. Audiences seem to prefer the stuff I couldn't have made up.”
“At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.”
“People think you're really confident because you're an actress or whatever, but I'm, like, the worst. Although the good thing about being recognizable is that people approach me, which is good.”
“I'll often use my real stuff in my writing because it comes across as more authentic.”
“I love talking in an American accent. Even though it hurts my face after a few hours.”
“When I was just a girl in Sydney, no one thought, 'Oh, she's going to be a movie star.' No one. I had to get by with actual skill and talent.”
