It's an incredible set. It actually exudes a personality and a depth of darkness that invades you when you're here and you're shooting.
Everything is so beautifully thought out that it just gives you your character instantly.
[on Wentworth]: It's not a pretty place to be. But it's an important place to be the way that its shot here on foxtel.
It's so rare to get a chance to flex your muscles and play scenes and take yourself to places you could never have imagined you'd be capable of playing, and then come away at the end of it and say, 'I did it and I'm so proud.'"

If I can do Wentworth, I can do anything.
[on Kaz's exit from Wentworth]: There were numerous phone calls between the writers and myself, and the producers and myself, and a lot of co-creating how Kaz was going to end her time at Wentworth. I did actually feel at the end of [season] six that I'd had great storylines and I didn't want to just be around for nothing, and the writers knew, we both knew, that Kaz's time had been served.
