Quotes

• "I have to clear this up because I’m going to get sacked if that rumour keeps getting out there. I am not leaving Home And Away… well, certainly not any time soon. I don’t know where that story began. I do have plans to head overseas to LA, but not for a while yet."
• "She’s gorgeous. Dancers in general are fit and have sex appeal."
• "I won’t comment on that. I’ve never really talked about my relationships."
• "I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the Diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do."
• "Kim isn't a bad kid, he has been there and done it all and moved to so many schools. He knows he won't be in one place for too long so he doesn't go out of his way to make new friends and doesn't care about the impression he leaves. Kim basically has the attitude of taking it as it comes."
• "Well, I'll keep on auditioning and one day maybe I'll go to LA and try out for films there."
• "I get along with everyone because they are such a good bunch of people!.I'm learning a lot and having a ball. There is still a lot to learn about my character, but I've got a good grip on it all."
• "It was like being on a holiday at first, but as time has gone by I've settled in more to Sydney, but Melbourne will always be home."
• "I enjoyed the story line where I was seeking out my long-lost mother…that called for more heightened emotions and tense scenes, especially with Ivar Kants who plays my father. Ivar is such a professional actor and his experience has helped me so much – I've learnt a lot from him."
• "At home in Victoria, we have three dogs, Tosh and Lucy, they're half Blue Heelers, and then there's Torrin a little Maltese terrier. She gets more attention in the house than anyone else! Yes, I miss them a lot."
