What is your occupation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What brought you to Ballarat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roland Rocchiccioli in the first instance; Ballarat Arts Foundation, the second; and the possibility of many more visits to come if my daughter takes up future university study in Ballarat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your favourite spot in the city, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know the city intimately; however, being an actor, I would have to say Her Majesty\u2019s. It\u2019s a beautiful space, and I hope the foot warmers remain after the renovation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your earliest memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beaches in WA, where I grew-up. Mettam\u2019s Pool in North Beach was at the end of my grandmother\u2019s street. I loved it there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the most courageous thing you\u2019ve ever done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaving WA to chase the dream of a career in the performing arts. Stepping into the unknown without a second thought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is happiness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy children. Freshly baked cake. Sunday afternoon in Autumn. A garden.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Proust can change your Life by Alain de Botton<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you hope the future might hold for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 – I hope my work continues for some years to come with lots of new challenges. 2 – Hiking, because I just like to walk. A lot. 3 – Love. To love and be loved. A lot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the best decision, ever, you have made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a family.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you like to cook and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love making cakes, possibly because I like eating cake!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What building would you choose to be, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A rural homestead with wide verandas that sheltered a family for generations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your most treasured possession, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heirloom jewellery. The pieces I have, worn by generations, are really special.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you could ask your pet one question, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those big eyes looking at me\u2026 is it love, or are you just hungry?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What would you change if you could edit your past?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not a lot, but I really should have bought that house in Daylesford I adored in 2000.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What or who inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hard work! Without complaint.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom little things, big things grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leonardo Da Vinci. His time management skills to accomplish all he did\u2026!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What technological\/scientific development boggles your mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I adore science and technology. I heard a theory that human life could possibly be sustained on Mars by using synthetic greenhouse gases to warm the planet! Google it for a better explanation folks!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What qualities do you admire in other people?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What did you want to be when you were growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An astronaut, a marine biologist, a vet, a pilot\u2026.so I became an actor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What scares you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

War. Too many young lives lost.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you wish someone had told you when you were starting out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t listen to the noise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was your favourite toy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lego.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your favourite smell, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frangipani. My grandmother had two trees in her front yard and on a warm night it was heavenly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is something about you which is still the same as when you were a child?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happiness. I have a fortunate disposition whereby I always find my way back to it. It\u2019s my default setting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What would your childhood-self think of you today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think my young self would be amazed to see the children she would go on to have. She knew becoming a mother would be part of her life story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
