What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was in year 4, I apparently wrote an essay saying that when I grew up I wanted to be Burt Bacharach! But the piano playing went by the wayside as the acting started to take off. I still love his music though.

When did you know you would work in the arts?
I was a child actor and so I guess it was pretty clear from my first proper acting job (a play at the Nimrod Theatre when I was 12).
