“I'm a workaholic, I always try to fill my time with projects.”

“My parents don't really watch movies at all.”

“I love zombie films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' - I thought it was so brilliantly done and so grounded in reality. I was definitely thrust into the zombie world watching that film.”

“I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I'd spend a quiet week with my mum, then I'd go to my dad's property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.”

“I always have those feelings - lucky and blessed - and I don't know if they'll ever go away. I really hope they don't, as I think it keeps you grounded. That's how I feel about every film I do.”

“I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.”

“Kids are really cruel.”

“There aren't a lot of movie star males around my age that I can play opposite.”

“I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case, I sort of fell into acting.”

“I was thrown in the deep end at 18 when I got cast in a movie that I didn't audition for. The director just sort of found me and put me in a film, so the decision was really made for me.”
