Quotes
[At the 2018 Logies]: Thank you so much for believing in a female-driven drama that makes visible the invisible lives of women who are incarcerated.
[Talking About Wentworth (2013) ] :I think people are enjoying seeing women in roles that normally you see men play, particularly in the power play of status. Within the prison system, amongst the inmates, there's a hierarchy and you see who strives to be top dog - who wants it, who doesn't and who has loyalty to whom. It's intrinsically interesting and it's really complex. I think the great thing about the show is that it shines a light on these women's humanity - their good bits as well as their bad bits, because all of us have those. One of the other things I love most about it is that it's women of all shapes, sizes, ages and nationalities.
One of the loveliest things - it's a little bizarre - is that whenever I'm out in public, I get these very flattering comments. "You're so much smaller in real life"" or ""You're very pretty in real life and so much younger""
