- She graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) with a degree in Performing Arts (Acting) in 2004.
- I really believed that I could do the role and I fought for it, I suppose. I just knew an opportunity like this rarely rarely comes along.
- I'm playing Nicola Gobbo from her uni days to present day really: so the Royal Commission and how we got to the quite dramatic situation that has unfolded in the last year or so. It's a long period to play somebody, which has been a really interesting thing to do.
- When we got caught up on little factual details, Geoff our director said to us, 'Hey, we're not making a documentary here, we're making an interpretation of events.' No-one knows exactly what happened in these situations. No-one knows the truth. All we can do is puzzle a few things together.
- The workload was immense and it was a short shoot, relatively speaking, shooting four hours of television in just over five weeks. You run the gamut of emotions in something like this, so it was a very physical shoot as well. I've never had that kind of workload on a television show before.
- [on filming Informer 3838]; I just read the scene and thought, 'Wow this is going to be an incredible character.' It's an unusual opportunity because we know very little about the character personally. So it left a lot up to us creatively, to try and understand what motivated the character.
