Teresa Palmer in Berlin Syndrome Trailer

The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even, I think it’s super sweet and it’s very attractive for a female.

Sexiness is a spark, a confidence, just being loose and free without putting up barriers, not feeling ashamed, embarassed or self-aware.

The glitz and glamour are such small aspects of my life, I’m talking perhaps 3 weeks total of a full year. I choose not to attend events like a lot of my acting peers just because my preference is to stay home with my family, I also don’t love getting in to uncomfortable shoes/clothes and having my makeup and hair done, I much prefer just being me as when I work I’m always pretending to be someone else. Because it’s only a small fraction of my life I find the balance really easy.

I think perhaps society puts an unfair pressure on woman to «do it all» but that doesn’t mean balancing it all isn’t possible for those who want that. I have a desire to be a great mum, have a succeeded acting career, a blogging career, be philanthropic, have a wonderful relationship, be a good friend and be rooted in a deep spiritual practice. To me that’s the holy grail and why not strive to find balance in all the things we want to achieve? Doesn’t mean I will achieve it but at least I know what my goals are and I have an idea of something to strive towards.

I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I’d spend a quiet week with my mum, then I’d go to my dad’s property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.

I’m not being sent away again
