- After receiving her Chauvel Award in 2019: This recognition is a wonderful and very humbling acknowledgement of essentially what's been a lot of hard work. It's a career that's been full, rich and enormously joyful, but it's also had a lot of ups and downs as well.
- That in itself is a bit unusual, and it shouldn't be quite that unusual, but never the less it is.
- Tom and I have been together for a very long time now. The way in which a person challenges you is partly by sharing their opinions and responding to yours. What a fortunate person I am to have someone to share life's wonders with.
- I was quite driven to become an actor and Sydney was the place I needed to be. All the good agents were in Sydney.
- I wouldn't be alive if I wasn't! That nervous adrenaline is very important - it keeps you on your toes.
- As long as it doesn't shoot you down. In fact, if a job seems frightening that's a recommendation for me to go for it.
- The birthing of every child is very unpredictable and unique. No expert knows how it is going to go. Every woman, every baby and every birth is different.
- There's been a growing push towards encouraging and empowering expectant mothers to participate in all important decisions around the birth of their babies.
- I'm never doing nothing. I'm somebody who enjoys going for long walks; very simple things. Going out with Bodhi focuses the walk.
- I'm terrifically fortunate to be working in a field I find so exhilarating. It's not easy to have longevity in this business. But this is what I have always done.
- When I'm not working on a project, I'm usually working on a program of my own. And I've been in a relationship with Tom for a very long time. It is my rock.
- I'm still learning about Diane and she's still taking shape. We're learning new things about ourselves every day too so it's very true to the dynamic of the show as everyone discovers more about themselves.
- She's been extremely helpful right through pre-production in making sure I stick to clarity and truth in telling these stories. It's a very important thing to be genuine. We hope there will be midwives and obstetricians watching the show and we want to be respectful with what they do in everyday life.
- I research as I go according to what I need to know, and we have a terrific advisor for midwifery, and she gives me pointers on set when there are physical tasks.
- It's a really great group of people. An extremely talented cast and we're all feeling blessed to be working on such a life-affirming show," Thornton said about creating show, noting that the themes of family and self-discovery are important for every viewer.
- I'm interested in the family dynamic - they're not always high functioning and there's always level of dysfunction in every family. This narrative explored all of those things; negotiating and renegotiating the terms of their relationships. There were lots of attractive things for me," she said of the role.
- We are in a period when editorial comment is often disguised as fact.
- The concepts are broad and important and any ... discussion of truth these days has to bring to mind Trumpism, which has, of course, changed the parameters in all sorts of ways in the telling of truth and people's ability to take things at face value as truth.
- It's a fundamental aspect of human life, so I'm just enjoying the fact that it's a timely show. I love the birth scenes, but also really enjoy the scenes where we're able to make discoveries about ourselves through one another.
- Oh once, and then the play wasn't right.
- Kate is a delight to work with, and I'm delighted to be working with her again after Wentworth. I think we're finding a level that's really interesting, and we're playing to the authenticity of the relationship as much as we can. Kate is so responsive and intelligent, which is what you need in the fast-paced environment of telly.
