Sometimes when Australians go overseas, it's as though the 'Aussie' is refined out of them. I don't know why. It's never happened to me, because I'm really proud of it. I'm not embarrassed about where I'm from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I don't fit in everywhere, but I know where I do fit in.
No one knows who I am in Australia. They don't even know I am Australian, because 'The Secret Circle' is on in Australia, and I'm sure everyone's like, 'Oh, she's American. She's from, like, North Carolina.' Like, nobody knows me in Australia, I'm just telling you.

I'm definitely Australian and wouldn't have it any other way. I've been formed as an athlete in Australia.
I was fortunate enough to coach the U.S. Olympic team in Australia.

I truly love Australia; I miss Aussie kids and their attitude!
