After receiving her Chauvel Award in 2019: This recognition is a wonderful and very humbling acknowledgement of essentially what's been a lot of hard work. It's a career that's been full, rich and enormously joyful, but it's also had a lot of ups and downs as well.

Tom and I have been together for a very long time now. The way in which a person challenges you is partly by sharing their opinions and responding to yours. What a fortunate person I am to have someone to share life's wonders with.

I was quite driven to become an actor and Sydney was the place I needed to be. All the good agents were in Sydney.

I wouldn't be alive if I wasn't! That nervous adrenaline is very important - it keeps you on your toes.
