Aussie culture is pretty relaxed in general, but at the same time people know how to work really hard to go above and beyond what's expected of them.

Michael Jackson has been my idol since before I could even walk.

I don't really know anything about fashion, I just kind of wing it and do what I want at the time.

If you truly love something, fight for it every day, as long as it makes you happy.

In terms of being Australian, I think a big part of it is the determination to prove yourself, just like Aussie actors.

I've had down periods in the past few years where I haven't been writing or working on music, and during that time something always felt like it was missing, but when I bring it back into the equation, everything in my life makes sense again. As corny as that sounds.

I'm living for myself, everything I do is to achieve my goals, so I'd love to stop caring so much about what I want by then and maybe focus on a bigger picture.

If you're gonna take in the love, you've gotta take in the hate. Or at least recognize it.

I respect anyone who achieves something that countless others have dared to try before and failed.
