Quotes

“I'm really excited about it and I'm really honoured that my first vote is going to be a 'Yes' vote for marriage equality. If it's a 'Yes' vote it means we're standing with the best of them. We're forward-thinking, we're fair, we're just and we're equal. If we don't, then we're none of those things and I would be extremely disappointed.”
“I could have ended up like Lindsay Lohan. You're being offered all these different temptations. Everyone is either telling you how great you are or talking about you behind your back. If you don't have your mam telling you "Remember, you're still my daughter", you're going to go off the rails.”
“Everyone thinks I'm ethereal. But I'm not like that, you know. I'm not ethereal. I wanted to play different girls. I wanted to play someone who says "fuck". I wanted to play someone who had a temper, had an attitude, and is a bit of a bitch.”
“I put my leg on the ewe and make sure she's calm and stick my hand up her and pull her lamb out. I was totally up for doing it, but I was really scared. I grew up in the country, but not on a farm.”
