Acting schools in Australia are way more interested in theater and your skill around that.

Yeah, it felt way more unattainable.

Acting schools felt out of my league.

Look, I would wonder now because the majority of work for an actor to make a living is unfortunately not in the theater.

It's just not.

It's just not.

If you're going to live in New York or LA, you can't financially survive.

Especially if you have a family.

So I wonder now, obviously I'm so old now, I've got no idea, but if they take that into consideration at these schools.

But back then, it was way more snobby.

My parents, they were like, got to go to uni, got to keep your brain working.

And I studied English literature and gender studies.

I didn't finish my degree, but I went to Sydney Uni, which is a gorgeous campus.

It's a bit like Hogwarts, beautiful old sandstone buildings.

I did half my degree and then I started getting more jobs and I ended up like, I'll finish it online.

I never did.

And I wish I had.

I do.

It's always going to be sort of hanging.

Just that sense of accomplishment that I finished it.
