Natalie » Quotes

Personality

"My biggest indulgence is beauty treatments. If I ever have a day off, I love to get the full works done- manicure, pedicure, facial, massage. It takes the whole shebang to revitalise me from the zombie state I usually arrive in."

"I'd like to take over Marilyn Monroe for a day and stand over that air thing."

T4: "And what should people stop doing, to improve our world?"
Natalie: "Smoking!"

"I'd love to be fired out of a cannon because it's great!"

"You wouldn't know, but I'm very good at looking after children. I'm like, queen of the kids because I'm basically a big kid at heart."

"When I was a kid I was always trying to figure myself out, but I did have one secret passion, architecture. I used to draw floor plans of houses and I still do it now. Maybe I'm just a dreamer at heart."

"I have zero tolerance for incompetence. There's nothing worse than when someone does a shit job at something and they just don't seem to care. It totally frustrates me and pisses me off."

"I'm envious of Imelda Marcos's shoe collection. I have about 60 pairs but I can always make room for more! And the sad thing is, I bought most of them."

"I would so pash Robbie Williams. He's just so naughty and confident. But if he got a tattoo of my name on him, I might feel different and find that a bit scary."

"I lose my cool when my mobile runs out of charge and the reception isn't good and it cuts out halfway through a conversation!!"

"I always like to pamper myself. I live in the salon and every time someone rings me I'm there getting my nails done or getting a facial."

"Anyone that knows me says I never relax - I've been called the energiser bunny! I'm always busy and I love being busy. But if I have a late night partying I reckon the reason I get drunk is so when I have a hangover I know I won't get off the couch. Otherwise, I would just keep going!"

"I'm kind of a bit of a dreamer and I like to have these ridiculous, adventurous fantasies. I'm up for trying anything once."

TOTP: "Who would you make a voodoo doll of, and what would you do to it?"
Natalie: "Oh God, an ex of mine... I would poke it, I would pinprick it, put lipstick on his cheeks...and I'm not talking about the face. I would rip that thing up! Yeah. You?"

Food

"I get jealous of people working in chocolate shops and getting to eat chocolates whenever they want It's not fair."

"I am a bit of a chocolate head. One minute, I'll be healthy and the next I'll be looking at the cakes. But I'm scared that if I try one, I won't be able to stop!"

"I am a big fan of lollies and chocolate. Dark Lindt chocolate balls are my absolute favorite because not only do they melt in your mouth but you can eat them in one go. Lollies are also my weakness and I have a lolly jar at home filled to the brim with Freckles, Sherbies and Milkshakes."

Career

"I’m still trying to figure out what I am. Singer, Dancer, Actor. I guess I’m still the same little girl playing dress-ups."

"I think I write entertainer [as a profession] and it often feels like people think I'm a stripper. I kind of think I'm a mixed bag of lollies."

"I have done auditions with different [good luck] crystals and stuff, and one time, I did this audition and I had a crystal, and a little fairy, and all these things that my friends had given to me, and I put them in my bra. I went and did the audition and little did I know that they were taking photos on the day, and when they printed it in this magazine, I've got, like, denty boobs!"

"If I could pick a few things I'd like to do, I'd play a superhero in a movie, maybe a cartoon character's voice (and) tour the world with the band."

Neighbours

"The other day a guy told me his flatmate watches the show and throws things at the screen because he thinks my character is so awful. I just think that's cool!"

[On Stefan Dennis - Paul Robinson on Neighbours] "He's a fabulous kisser, though. I used to watch him on the show back in the day and I had a bit of a crush on him." - .

T4: "We have a theory that Karl and Susan are real people, and that 'Neighbours' is a 'Trueman Show' style experiment."
Natalie: "It's true! And I ruined their lives. Ha ha!"

"I got sent letter from the UK, and it was like 2 pages saying the latest season of the show was full of manipulation, sex and drugs, and how dare "I" do that to Karl and Susan... and I should be on the streets and die of some incurable disease like cancer."

Rogue Traders

[On crazy fans] James Ash: "At the end of the day you have to see it as a kind of flattery really." Natalie: "No you don't, some of them are scary! But most of them are really great."

TOTP: "Do you have any obsessive-compulsive habits, like checking light switches or washing your hands?"
James: "I DO wash my hands."
Natalie: [sniggers] "Thank God!"

James: "We auditioned lots and lots of people. Natalie was literally the last person we saw. And I was concerned about the soap star angle. We didn't want to be seen as trading on anyone's celebrity to achieve a further measure of success. So what it came down to was, who was the best? And she was the best."
Natalie: "And I threatened them."
James: "We couldn't say no."

Prey

"Who doesn't want to be in a horror film that is directed by George Miller (The Man from Snowy River) and, of course, we get spunky Jesse, which is kind of fun."

"It's a brilliant script, it's so much fun."

"I got to kill people, and it was so fun! I know it's bad to say as I'm not a murderer by any sense of the imagination, but oh my god it was so much fun! It was really cool."
