- We are so used to watching films and TV where the lead characters survive. It's the hero's journey.
- Having girls come up to me and tell me they see parts of themselves in my characters is incredible.
- We're not told in advance what will happen. There's a brief arc for everyone, but the detail we don't know.
- On Wentworth now filming in 4K: I had no idea what that meant at first!
- I remember being shocked to see someone on the screen who looked just like me, especially the curly hair.
- I grew up in this world, going to rehearsals and watching people perform. That's all I've known so it was bound to happen, I think. I was in a dance production and the producers and directors of Redfern Now happened to be at the show, and saw something in me that they wanted to explore onscreen.
- It's remote. I'm talking really small little tin sheds, only about eight of them, and three hours from everything.
- It's upsetting and at times it's quite devastating, But I have hope. I think most Aboriginal people have hope that things will move forward and everything will be OK. And also, Aboriginal people are good at having a laugh. We like to get around a dinner table with lots of food and focus on the good, too - family, community.
- It's nice, but it also makes me wonder, how is this still an issue? But I'm hoping it inspires young Aboriginal girls - all girls - and for them to use that inspiration in any way they want to - whether they want to be an actor or they just see strength and know they too can be strong and who they are.
- It's slow - a little bit like a country town with a slow pace. When I first go back, my mum will tell me to talk slower because I'm talking too fast or walking too fast. I always have to remind myself to breathe and relax and slow down.
- I think we all enjoy doing our own stunt stuff. I remember Susie Porter's first day and she had a fight scene and she went 'aw this is cool.'
- Cotton Ears. I'm known for messing up my lines.
- [on True Colours]; True Colours takes viewers deep into the world of a First Nations community as it has never been seen before, also showcasing Arrernte language which is extraordinary to hear and perform
- It's always a pleasure to bring a character to life on screen, but there's something special about playing Toni Alma. As a woman who is trying to work out who she is and what she wants, she is as equally drawn to her family and culture as she is confronted by it. I can't wait for everyone to see this amazing series.
- I'm an NT girl and have been acting for 13 years now. I have been dying to do a job in the Northern Territory. This opportunity came up and I knew I was in.
- Whether that is being a detective and finding the challenges of how complex our families can sometimes be and the issues that surround the relationship between police and Aboriginal communities
- By the time we were filming, I felt like a desert girl. I was speaking Arrernte whenever I could because I wanted to, it's a beautiful language to listen to, it's a beautiful language to speak.
- You can't use English words for Aboriginal language sometimes, it's hard to translate that. I just couldn't feel it in my spirit. So, there was a beautiful exchange happening. When she was teaching me Arrernte, I would translate it to Yolngu Matha.
- You know how they have Netflix Originals, this is an NITV Original... I love NITV, my family and I are always watching it and I'm really excited that this is going to be its home.
