SAMARA WEAVING

Acting is my passion. I can't see myself doing anything else.

I miss Canberra. It's a great place to grow up in.

I finished Year 12 in Canberra, and I found it was the kind of place where people could go places.

L.A. can be a little bit daunting. It is great, but it is a very cutthroat area and industry to be in, so London feels a bit more homely for me.

Because of the nature of this industry, it's a bit dangerous to think far ahead.

I was 17, on TV, and kind of thought, 'I'm awesome. Why don't you treat me like an adult?' I was arrogant.

I try to work out regularly, but I'm not an exercise freak.

I've had a passion to play Marilyn Monroe for a really long time.

I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I try to eat healthy and exercise as much as I can, even if it's just a 20-minute run.

I had trouble making friends because we moved around so much.

I love boys with English accents.

I'm such a scaredy cat.

I'd love to work in England or America. But as long as I'm doing what I love, then I'm happy.

I've been very fortunate in the work I've been getting.

I'd really like to come and do some theatre in the U.K.

Working with someone who's really passionate about it is great, because you become passionate, and then it's fun; it's not work anymore.

I hope that people realise pitting two women against each other is just silly.

I'm so quirky and weird, so I need a weirdo to hang out with!

My parents thought if they put me in drama classes, I might come out of my shell. It worked, and I've acted ever since.

I really liked 'Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Halloween,' and 'Scream.'

I couldn't watch '101 Dalmatians' when I was, like, nine because Cruella was too scary.

I don't like to wear a lot of makeup because my skin is quite sensitive.

I go for a 20-minute jog every day. I find I am much happier when I exercise. Running helps me debrief and work out my plan for the day.

Life after 'Home and Away' has been good. I'm very lucky and fortunate.

I think it's very important to be mindful of your body and actually listen to it. If I'm craving a certain kind of food, I'll have, but I notice when I'm full. It's kind of like a logical diet. I think when people go on restrictive diets, they put too much stress on themselves, which might make them prone to bingeing.
