On whether she's still enjoying living in Los Angeles:
"I’ve been here nearly seven years but I love Australia. If you go to LA for a holiday, it’s awesome. It reminds me of Movie World, where I used to work. But in terms of living here, everyone’s just trying to get ahead. Nobody’s here to settle or have a family. I’ve noticed that everyone drives around solo and it’s a very single town. I don’t think I know any couples."

On if she wants to return to Australia to settle down:
"Absolutely. I always look forward to coming home – I miss my Aussies so much. I get a lot of paparazzi attention in LA and I wouldn’t want that for my children. It’s not a healthy way to live. I can’t really have any privacy unless I’m in my house."

On the difference between LA dudes and Aussie blokes:
"There’s no comparison. In LA the guys are very feminine – even more than I am. They get manicures and pedicures and will always be looking in the mirror. I’ll be ready to go in 10 minutes but it’ll take them an hour-and-a-half. It’s a vain town."
