  • I think, at the end of the day, age is just a number. It's like, in real life, I've got friends who are dating someone their age or dating someone who's twice their age, and they're equally in love.

  • I kind of left everyone behind in Australia - all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend.

  • Being irrational and out of control is what happens in real life. Not cautiously choreographing your anger or your emotions, losing yourself in them is what happens in real life.

  • If you've worked in Australia, you can't get away with bad behaviour like showing up late. We take our work ethic very seriously.

  • I've got big, big dreams for the future.

  • I started working on a TV show in Australia, straight out of high school, so I missed the whole university experience.

  • Certainly there's a huge appeal to the '60s, because it was such a big turning point to everyone. It was the era of change, the boiling point. People rebelled against things - the hippies, the feminists, the protesters. All these things just built up and boiled over. I think people can relate to that today.

  • Initially I thought: 'I would never get cast opposite Will Smith! No one would ever buy it with the age difference, our personalities.' I can't think of a couple that makes less sense in every way, shape and form.

  • There is something about being people from your home country in a different country. It bonds you together.

  • I've worked everywhere. I worked in a warehouse packing surf supplies, a restaurant washing dishes, in retail, and I was a 'sandwich artist' at Subway.

  • If I looked good in 'Wolf of Wall Street,' I cannot take full credit; it was because of the hair extensions and makeup.

  • In my big group of girlfriends at home, I am definitely not the best looking. I did not grow up feeling like I was particularly attractive.

  • New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It's amazing.

  • I say this about everything: when I was on 'Neighbours,' I said, 'These are the best years of my life!' When I was filming 'The Wolf Of Wall Street,' I said, 'These are the best months of my life!' I always think I'm having the best time ever, and that I'll never have so much fun again.

  • The '60s are my favorite decade - with the Cold War, the women's movement. And then there's the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair.

  • I have an irrational fear that I'm going to have a gruesome and untimely death because so many wonderful things are happening to me.

  • My jet lag is getting a bit ridiculous. But, you know, it's first-world problems. It's a wonderful problem, 'Oh I have to travel around the world; how awful.'

  • I'd rather trust nine people and have the 10th one stab me in the back. I'd take that fall in order to have those nine friendships or working relationships instead of having none. That's not living.

  • I'd love them to have adorable little American accents, but I do want to bring my kids up in Australia; it's such a good lifestyle.

  • I was always very dramatic - my family would probably use the word 'dramatic' - as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.

  • People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile; it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.

  • Chemistry is so important and so unpredictable. Sometimes you get in a room with someone where aesthetically you make perfect sense as a couple, and then you read, and you're both kind of sitting there like, 'This isn't working for some strange reason; it just doesn't really pop.'

  • It was actually nice to get a fresh, clean slate when I came to America.

  • As much as I'd only like to concentrate on the creative side of acting, the whole business in general is just that - a business - and you have to do your homework if you want to be successful.

  • Where I'm from on the Gold Coast, we say that there are a lot of 'cashed-up Bogans,' you know, people with no class but a lot of money.

  • When you look at movies, the lead girl is always gorgeous and thin. There is a stereotype that you need to look a certain way and when you get in the business you really feel the pressure.

  • It's not about being rich, but everyone back home has a pool. And I was a total water baby. My mom couldn't get me out - she'd put my dinner plate at the end of the pool, and I'd eat my meals in the water.

  • I don't have a very good diet.

  • There are things in life that don't come to me naturally, and social media and the Internet and all those things are some of them, somewhere between taxes and cooking!

  • I made a conscious decision not to date actors.

  • If people are talking about me, I want it to be because of the work I'm doing and not the person I'm seeing.

  • I live with three boys, and I can't tell you how hard it is to get your hands on toilet paper. They steal it.

  • It's always good to have a story arch.

  • It's almost impossible to get a movie all together when there are two main cast members, let alone an ensemble cast with everyone's schedules. It's crazy if it works out.

  • Ironically, I don't like having cameras in my face.

  • Every time I see a piano, I have this urge to play it.

  • I always have more fun when I stay in hostels - you just meet so many more people. A hotel makes sense when you're doing work things, but travelling, you don't really get a feel for a place if you're in a hotel. I find it seems to make it all feel like everywhere else.

  • Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

  • Even I admit I may have peaked too soon.

  • There's nothing I dislike more than being in a photo shoot where they say, 'Be yourself.' That's not why I became an actress. That's what I find so funny: that you become an actor, and all of a sudden, everyone wants to know about you. But I didn't become an actor so I could show you me.

  • Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.

  • I swear I'm not bossy in any other aspect of my life - it's just on set.

  • All your mannerisms change easily when you have inch-long acrylic nails.

  • Any time I have any time off, I try to travel.

  • I'm definitely looking forward to doing a film one day with more female actors.

  • People ask me, 'How do you remember your lines?' That's nothing. That is the least of my concerns.

  • Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.

  • Growing up I never had a perfume. I was like oh, one day when I'm grownup and have money I'm going to wear perfume. I had one perfume and I would save it for really, really, really special occasions. Which meant I never actually wore it. So now it's one of those things like, I can wear perfume everyday. I can afford to buy another one, I'm really lucky that I can. Now when I have nice stuff I don't save it anymore, I try to use it.

  • I always dress kind of monochromatic and very simple and all that kind of stuff.

  • I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me.

  • I don't even know how to Direct Message someone on Instagram. I still write letters.

  • I don't want my Patronus to be a monkey! Even though that's totally what it is.

  • I feel like I'm pretty good at doing my own makeup. I've watched a lot of people do my makeup, so I've been able to gauge what looks good and what doesn't.

  • I have big feet. Do you know how embarrassing it is when you ask for a shoe and they look at you like, "No, we don't make these heels for Bigfoot, sorry."

  • I have like three hairs left on my head. A hairstylist will come in and put all this fake hair in and it looks luscious and amazing. And I'm like, god, I feel a thousand times better.

  • I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed.

  • I make my friends pull up their profiles and I'm like, "Show me everything."

  • I really need a hairstylist to do my hair if it's going to look good.

  • I remember specific times and people in my life so much more clearly if I smell something that brings me back to them.

  • I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I'm staying at a friend's house or something. I'm very old school.

  • I was in a movie for five minutes where I play tennis and I was given five tennis lessons for free. I never had a tennis lesson. I was like, that's awesome! When else would I have taken up tennis?

  • Once people see you pulling off one role, they think youre a safe bet to do a similar role.

  • People don't want to look at you and think, 'Oh, it must have taken her so long to get ready!' It's not as exciting to imagine. They want to imagine your life being - well, the opposite of what it sometimes is, where getting dressed is very regimented, you know? People don't want to know that.

  • Probably not for about 10 years, because I've got so much to do before then, but I really want to have four kids . . . I'd love them to have adorable little American accents, but I do want to bring my kids up in Australia. It's such a good lifestyle.

  • Scent has become a way for me to differentiate characters.

  • So many of my friends are older, and the people I work with are older. I guess I've gotten used to hearing people say, "Oh, you're so young," even though I never really agreed with that. Now I get their perspective.

I'm like, 'Do your best. Please. Make me skinny.'

  • You need to shower at the end of the day.
