1I had no aspirations to be a model. I had a very good job with a bank having dropped out of my Business degree course because I could not get to grips with Ecomonics. If something doesn't interest me I find it hard to absorb. I was laughing in the street with a friend during a trip to London to audition as a dancer for a West End show. A very nice Scottish man introduced himself to me as the Chief Executive of Coca Cola UK and asked me if I would audition for a TV commercial they were about to film to introduce a new drink called Sprite. I was dubious at first but then he informed me how much they were planning to pay me to film it. It was five times my annual salary with the bank. We spent three weeks in Lake Garda in Italy filming the commercial. Which was quite frankly awesome. When that commercial aired two months later I had five offers to appear in other televised ad campaigns. Quite by accident I had become a model. Despite being far too short for the job. Then Elite Models came calling. And the rest is history.
2History was my favorite subject at school. But I was lied to. My education was a rip off. I was taught that Oliver Cromwell was a hero. When in fact I have since learned that he was a narrow minded, over-bearing, bullying bigot of extremist proportions. He was a Puritan vs all things Catholic. When he took the town of Hastings during the English Civil War he massacred the entire town, men, women and children because the town was Catholic. That said, for all his vile narrow-mindedness he also reintroduced the Jews back into the UK for the first time in 400 years. Allowing them to build synagogues etc. A dichotomy for sure.
3The funniest thing I ever saw was Eddie Izzard live on stage in London. My cheeks hurt so much when I left that theatre I had to massage them to calm them down. He's hilarious. The funniest real life thing is so easy. I was once sitting on my back porch of my house in Melbourne watching four builders on the roof of the house next door doing renovations. A massive thunder storm set in and it was biblical. They all scrambled to the aluminum ladders to get down from the roof and they all slid off at the same time. I swear to you I don't think I stopped crying with laughter for about a day. I'm British. We like physical comedy.
4I'm a closet Sci-Fi fan. I like the corners of my mind bent in. I like to believe that simply because there are things that we cannot see does not mean that they do not exist.
5My mother is German and my father Brazilian. The mix is reasonably exotic I suppose. I am quite highly strung. I was with an ex-boyfriend once who said something that really pissed me off. So I lifted my legs and kicked out the windscreen of his 1961 Mercedes 190 SL. He wasn't happy. But I was.
6That's quite easy actually. The most regular piece of advice my friends give me on life is "Nic, take your foot off the pedal sometimes." Because I've only ever had one 'holiday' in my adult life which I took after signing my record deal with Mushroom. Sitting on a beach for two weeks when I know there is work to be done at home just kills me. It is quite honestly my idea of hell.
7What's my favorite line from a movie? That's a tough one to be put on the spot with. Good question though. Um, well one of them is the last line in Nine and a Half Weeks said by Mickey Rourke, "Please come back by the time I count to fifty." And the reason is, because in my head, she did. No one walks away from something that good. But nothing can beat Clint Eastwoods last line in The Bridges of Madison County. "This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime."
8I once agreed to participate in an 'at home' interview for the Australian Gardening show "Burke's Back Yard". During filming and whilst I was walking them around my Melbourne home they seemed perfectly nice. When my interview aired the following month they tail ended the segment with an on-screen quote that said "Being born beautiful is like being born rich, and then gradually growing poorer". It was quite frankly one of the meanest things that has ever been done to me and an example of the famed Australian 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' at its finest.
9In my first year as a model, an American Supermodel once gave me the advice "Either make love to the camera, or ignore it." It's worked so far.
10I believe my job as a Producer is to "Incite Greed and Allay Fear."
11I have never felt love at first sight. But I know it exists, I've seen it. I would like to feel it one day. But it would have to be a very special guy. To declare love like that to someone unknown and risk ridicule is hard. But I hope I get to feel it.
12I like men to wear the pants. I like them to be in control. I like to think that I'm in control, but if push comes to shove I like to know that they've got everything in hand. And I like to feel that mentally they are my equal, or better.
13Gary Oldman. He's just sex on legs. When he played Count Dracula I thought to myself "Oh God Yes, suck my blood and kill me now please."
14I hoped I'd be in the 100, but to be number 2 is way beyond it. Thanks guys, but you watch too much television.
15I've adjusted quite well actually. I kind of work most of the time so I guess I could be anywhere. The fact that the weather's a bit warmer only helps really. I've just bought a house here and I'm making a home for myself now, but I guess England will still always be my home.
16Mmmmm, I won't allow myself to say stuff like 'G'Day' and 'this arvo'. They often put words like that in my script but I get rid of them. My character on Neighbours was born in Tasmania and lived in London for 14 years, so I think my accent is as correct as I can get it. I've tried so hard to not sound too Australian. You've got me worried now.
17I always know within five seconds what I think of a guy. And as soon as that guy is introduced to me and turns the other cheek and carries on with his conversation, I feel very deflated...but I love it.
18I've been mugged in London. I was on the tube going from Oxford Street to Tottenham Court Road. This was at a time when there were a lot of IRA bombings going on. I was about 18 years old and I looked like I was from the country, because I had rosey cheeks and curly hair, flowery dress. You only wear black in London, otherwise they know that you are not from there. The doors opened at Oxford Street and the alarms went off and they said that everyone had to stay on the train because there was a bomb scare. It was jam-packed and I just remember feeling this enormous pain like an axe had hit me and I'd been punched in the head. I fell to the ground and was kicked in the face. I just felt this wet sensation which of course was my own blood because they had broken my nose, and it was all over me. I thought the train must have crashed and then I'd passed out. I came around with an old lady shaking me and saying "They've got your purse love," and when I got to the barrier the ticket guy called the police to have me arrested because I didn't have my ticket!
