Banging on and on…

I spend a lot of time banging on about good sh&t. I know I do. People tell me I do. And people often despairingly ask “how do you keep so positive?” Want to know the secret? I don’t. Fact. I get down just like you. I get grumpy just like you. I get frustrated, annoyed, […]

The evil power of the “NO”

Actors roll up. It’s now a new year, full of all the emotional highs and lows we expect as we step into a new year of adventure. And with that comes the usual fear and trepidation we associate with our acting goals. I guess we all want to be stupidly successful but at the same […]

Chomping down on a bit of healthy reality

To all my friends, family, supporters, challengers and more, thank you! I don’t know where I would be today if I wasn’t truly inspired by so many people along the way. Some highlights for me this year included discovering some incredible new bloggers, making new industry pals, and taking rock climbing up a notch….which means […]

A time to reflect

With the recent knowledge of a wonderful acting friend passing away, I wanted to dedicate this post to Amanda, a truly beautiful, talented and giving individual who will always have a piece of my heart. There’s so much beauty in the world that I would hate for a second to miss it. And the great […]

A collision course with doing something…anything…just not nothing

Following on from a talk I heard last week with some wonderful filmmakers (directors, producers and actors) I am massively inspired (it was 12.30am when I wrote this as a draft) and keen to write down all the things I constantly want to share with filmmakers who are starting out. And it all focuses around […]

The way we share

As you will see in my e-blog (posting soon) I was delighted to see some beautiful sharing on set from co-workers recently. I felt so privileged to work with them on the project, not because it was a glossy high budget Hollywood movie, because it wasn’t, but because they were ridiculously professional, focuses and giving, […]

Your “Entourage”

Well if Adrian Grenier can have one, so can I. Right? Your personal entourage is extremely important. I bet if you sit down right now and make a list, there is a very good chance you have half a dozen people in that list already…if not more. Think about it. Let’s start with the easy […]

GUEST POST: To Hustle or not to Hustle

B.A.B.E. decided to get the low down from a fellow actor on all things related to the hustle. Now anyone who knows me, knows I love the words networking, hustling, catching up, socialising etc. And actors should know the importance of each of those terms. But one thing we must be mindful of is how much […]

The one word challenge

You’re up in a helicopter looking down own your life, the contributions you made, your precious moments and your journey. St Peter is at the pearly gates (humour me) and he asks you “What’s the one word you’d use to describe your life?” Bam! St Peter wastes no time getting to the point does he. […]

Hitching up your Harry High Pants

Well here here we have it. A new generation of wonder girls hitching up their Harry high pants and taking super mum to the next level. It was always coming. It’s what our generations call power women (yes I use plural for the word generation for those of you still in your teeny pre-20’s with the rest of […]
