It's a very open-armed experience in Australia - you feel immediately welcomed - I felt being here for three months - honoured, delighted, proud.

Everyone knows how much Australia means to me. I try to get back here as much as I can, but normally it's for work, so I'm in and out and jetlagged and stressed.

On both of my flights, everything went very well.

I feel so great on a plane that it could be the end of everything, and I don't care.

I love working in Australia. I'm happiest when I get to do it.

Australia is breathtakingly beautiful, and I can't wait to visit again.

It's always a pleasure on a personal note for me to come back to Australia.

My kids started school, so having a strong base in Melbourne has been a key priority. I'm not daunted by the travel. People say, 'It's so far to Australia,' and I say, 'You get on the plane, you eat well, you sleep, you wake up - and you're there.'

Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.

I guess I've been fortunate in having an ongoing film career while being based in Melbourne. I'm happy to commute. A day on a plane. Come on. It's easy.
