- "Most of my decisions are based on relationships. It's one of the reasons I never went to America and tried to carve out a career over there. I've been in love with my partner since I was 22, I've been a stepmother since I was 22, I've had a daughter for the past three years, I've got close ties with my family and the other families I've inherited. That defines who I am".
- "I don't know what it is about working overseas. Whether I'm too afraid or maybe I don't like it over there. I don't think it's something that's essential for me to do at this stage. But it is something people expect of Australian actors now: it seems like the inevitable thing to do".
- "I need a stiff Vodka just to settle my nerves - I find it a very difficult process. It's exciting once you're in there, but the build up is the killer, not to mention the horrible wait". - on auditioning.
- "I was always loyal to my parents, but I was a Saffy from Ab Fab (BBC television series Absolutely Fabulous (1992)). I watched that show and thought, 'Oh yeah, I can relate to that daughter'". - on her upbringing with parents who owned a trendy nightclub in Kings Cross, Sydney.
- "Peope are always going, 'How do you do sex scenes? How do you kiss people that you don't know?' Crying in front of people is a lot harder and a lot more confronting...You feel a lot more vunerable".
- Who doesn't love Rebecca Gibney? I worked with Rebecca, it must have been 10, 15 years ago, maybe even more... we've always kept in contact.
- At the eleventh hour they went, 'Oh she's not going to take it, we'll go and offer it to Claudia'.
- Definitely with Mandy, she's very charismatic as well, she wants to win people over even if it is just for that hour. So it's good to be able to witness that in real life situations and then just copy
- I often draw on people that I know to create characters, and then I can visualise them and I can understand their motivations and you can bring that to the scene.
- It was actually quite good knowing who they'd offered it to, it made me work out what sort of region they wanted her played in, so yeah I came on at the eleventh hour when obviously another actress fell through. I'm the second choice.
