I have this home in New York, I have a long-term relationship with my boyfriend, who's from Australia, and I had this business that I had maintain. Even though I wasn't actively shooting, there's a lot of peripheral work.

I tried for years to get an agent because I was told you needed an agent. The agent-hunting process was grim indeed.

I got in touch with my agent and told him I wanted to start going out on things again.

My long-term plans are just to get as much experience as I can in Australia and try to make my own films.

I still have agents in France, Los Angeles and Amsterdam who call and suggest parts. I'd love to keep on doing both painting and acting until the end of my days.

I absolutely love working in Australia. Overseas is a lot tougher - it's really hard to break into campaigns over there.

Unfortunately, I ended up kind of getting sadly duped, in a way. I haven't had an agent in 10 years, and now I'm doing some of the most interesting films I've ever had an opportunity to play in.

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.

Luckily, I have great agents who are sending me out for great stuff.
