- Nudity has never been an issue for me - I'm Australian. It's more of a thing in America. I mean people can buy guns, yet it's against the law to be topless on the beach.
- (On how she got her stepfather's surname Macpherson): I went to [a new] school, and my mother registered her [married] name, and they presumed, because people just didn't get divorced, that we had the same name.
