People do more important jobs than acting in film that should be recognised, but for some reason it's big money, so people are elevated in status. If I was a bus driver, I'm sure you wouldn't be interviewing me.

The percentage of people that go to drama college in the U.K. is probably just like anywhere in the world. It's a very hard business to work in. They say that, at any one time, there's only 5% of actors in the world that are actually working and getting paid, which is a shocking percentage, really.

To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.

I think it's the same to be an actress anywhere because the profession is about attitudes towards events - it is a process to try to understand life. I think this is the case for actors across the world.

I'd always dreamt of acting but, in Adelaide, we don't have exposure to the opportunities that make stardom a possibility.

As much as I'd love to be a successful actor, the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying.

It's bizarre, that feeling as an actor, at being in the mecca of the film world and seeing billboards for a TV show that you're in pretty much everywhere.

It's a dream to be in a company of actors.

Being recognised on the street in New York is pretty surreal.
