The best part about my job is that I’m pampered and always treated like a Barbie doll on the sets. But the worst part is that I have to work daily without many breaks.
I think, for a long time, people just did not know what to do with me. I looked like a Barbie doll, and then I had this voice like I spend my life in a bar, and I said things that were alarming and had ideas that didn’t make sense.
Being Australian is a lot more than saying ‘g’day mate’ and ‘throw a shrimp on the Barbie.’
I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.
I’m black and white, so either, sometimes, you’re not considered by the breakdown of the script: you’re not ‘black enough’ for this role. Or you’re not ‘white enough’ for this role. Or, like, looking up to people, who do I identify with? And not seeing Barbies that maybe look like me.
If Barbie was a real person, she’d be, like, 10 feet tall in order for her legs to be proportionate to her torso.
It would have been very easy for me to put on a little tight skirt and go out and try what I always call the ‘Barbie doll’ roles.
