A biography for Teresa Palmerhasn’t been written yet.
“I'd always dreamt of acting but, in Adelaide, we don't have exposure to the opportunities that make stardom a possibility.”
“As actors we give so much of ourselves away so I like to keep my personal life to myself.”
“I can walk around relatively anonymously.”
“If you are having fun on screen, it shows.”
“I came from rather humble beginnings.”
“Obviously I don't have a stylist for everyday stuff, but for a premiere or something usually the studio will hire someone.”
“I think Aussies try to stay humble.”
“As a producer you have creative control, and that's what is so exciting about it. At the end of the day, if you have made a film it's totally your responsibility, and if it works it's your responsibility and if it doesn't it's also your responsibility.”
“I feel like if I ever got into some sort of rumble on the street, I will actually be able to defend myself.”
“I try to get back to Australia as much as possible.”
“In real life, I'm always in tracksuits, and I never wear makeup.”
“I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.”
“I've been incredibly blessed.”
“I'm very much into animal welfare.”
“The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even, I think it's super sweet and it's very attractive for a female.”
“I love to challenge myself.”
“I haven't met everyone from all different cultures, but I do know Aussies are very tough.”
“I think, for me anyway, music and film is where you can really transport yourself to another universe.”
“I was so dorky up until I was about 14 or 15 and started to get a little bit cooler, but I was a socks and sandals girl. I would wear big frilly socks with sandals and all the kids would tease me.”
“I do like fantasy films.”
