Dolly magazine | June 2005
You were 13 when you had your big break at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Did you always want to be famous?
When I was younger I told my mum and dad that I wanted to go into show business, so I started taking lessons. I was then in some musicals and got the lead in a massive production of The Wizard Of Oz. I love being a performer, I love singing and dancing, and it’s always been my dream.
Was it tough at times?
It can be tough, but you’ve just got to stick at it. My advice would be to try really hard to get different influences and lots of feedback, but still follow your dreams.
What’s the best part about being a celeb?
I love being able to put a smile on people’s faces and allow them to forget their worries while I perform!
What is the hardest part?
It would have to be putting up with other people’s false perceptions of me. I just have to keep telling myself to be strong.
Are there any celebs who you really admire?
I love Kate Hudson’s style. I also think if I met Heath Ledger I would be a little speechless!
What beauty products are you sooo lost without?
Foundation, lip gloss and eyelash curlers!
What are some of your favourite things in your wardrobe?
My white knee-high boots! I also love my leather jacket and wearing dark flared jeans.
Do you have any tips on surviving life in the public eye?
Make sure you keep your private life private, but still allow people to see the real you. Learn who to trust, too.
